NTFS Folder Permissions

[steve]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what permissions I need to set on the Exchsvrv directory,
and my EDB and LOG directories in order for exchange 2003 to operate?

I have followed the guidelines in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328229 but I still
get Access Denied messages in the event log when exchange tries to create
log files, and the IS will not mount, giving error:

Error 0xfffffbf8 starting Storage Group
/DC=local/DC=MyDomain/CN=Configuration/CN=Services/CN=Microsoft
Exchange/CN=MyDomain/CN=Administrative Groups/CN=first administrative
group/CN=Servers/CN=MailServer/CN=InformationStore/CN=First Storage Group on
the Microsoft Exchange Information Store.
Storage Group - Initialization of Jet failed.

From the KB article, I need to give access to the builtin group "Server
Operators" (which I can see in AD), but when I browse to the Exchsvrv folder
and attempt to add the group, I cannot find it. If I enter the name by hand,
I get a "Server Operators is not recognised" message.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
steve

Hi Steve,

The permissions you require are:
Administrators (ServerName\Administrators) - Full Control
System - None
Creator Owner - None
Click the Advanced Button
Creator Owner - Full Control - Apply To: Subfolders and Files

The following are additional by default:
Power Users (ServerName\Power Users) - Modify
Users (ServerName\Users) - Read/Execute, List Content, Read

Note: The 'Server Operators' group is only available to add when your
server is a DC/GC, so is not required for a Member Server.

Also, uncheck the 'Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to
propergate...' button on the \Exchsrvr directory
But make sure you check this box for all subdirectories underneath this...
(i.e. MDBDATA)

Regards,
Val
