I would rebuild it. Just make sure yoi promote a BDC to a PDC and do a domain synch beforehand.<br />
Trying to fix this will take forever otherwise, since Exchange may do all sorts of weird things with permissions.<br />
<br />
The only other thing you might try is XACLS or similar in the NT resource kit.<br />
It has an option to restore Default ACLs.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps !<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
NT4.0sp6a. &nbsp;Starting with default NTFS permissions I'm trying to apply file/directory permission changes to reach a security baseline. &nbsp;I tell it Administrators = Full Control then part way through applying the changes I get a pop-up box saying &quot;Unable to save permission changes on Server (C:), the parameter is incorrect. [Retry][Cancel]&quot; &nbsp;When I look I see that some of the subdirectories changed, some didn't, can't tell where it got interrupted. &nbsp;Nothing in the event log. &nbsp;This also happens propogating System, Authenticated User, etc. &nbsp;Server used to be an Exchange server but mailboxes have been moved and services stopped. &nbsp;Server is currently a PDC. &nbsp;I'm prepared to rebuild, but if I get a quick enough answer I'll pass a security inspection &nbsp;:)<br />
Any ideas?
