Exchange server shows the given below warning although it create the mailbox database and required folders. I just want to inquire about the reason, its implicatioins and the soltuion. <br />
<br />
<br />
&quot;&nbsp; There was a problem creating directory &quot;D:\MailboxDatabase\Manula<wbr />FolderDB&quot; on server &quot;TL-Main-EX01.thevlab.com&quot;<wbr />. In order to ensure that the Exchange data is kept secure, please create the directory, if it does not already exist, and configure directory permissions so that &quot;SYSTEM&quot; and the local &quot;Administrators&quot; group have &quot;Full Control&quot; for the folder, subfolders, and files. It is recomended that permission inheritance be broken so that only &quot;SYSTEM&quot; and &quot;Administrators&quot; have access to the directory &quot;
