RE: Spurious attachment permissions issue...
The only exchange server in the site running Groupshield is a site that is currently unaffected! The affected sites do not have an Exchange AV scanner - only Netshield scanning traffic in and out of the server (excluding the IS of course!). The techdoc was of interest but not entirely relevant, I shall read it though for reference, thanks.

RE: Spurious attachment permissions issue...
~ndi Well, I'm happy someone else brought the subject up as I was going to slyly ask if anyone had a means of 'controlling' the amount of cached/temporary internet data so that my roaming profiles didn't take hours to load. I know there is a limit profile size in Profile editor and the setting can be manually adjusted in IE properties but how can I do it en-masse? I would then be able to allow the folder to roam and cure my predicament!!
