Exchange Server 2003 Setup Does Not Re-Stamp Exchange Organization Permissions

View products that this article applies to.

Summary

To be more secure by default, Exchange Server 2003 only stamps default permissions on the Exchange organization on the first installation.

Symptoms

Reinstalling Exchange Server 2003 by running Setup does not reset the Permissions for the Exchange organization as it did in Exchange 2000 Server.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

Setup in Exchange Server 2003 has been changed to only stamp the default permissions once for an Exchange organization. This occurs on the first Exchange Server 2003 installation.� Subsequent installs will retain any customization made to the permissions.

↑ Back to the top

Resolution

This behavior is by design.

More information

Exchange Server 2003 setup is more secure because it does not revert to default permissions for each Exchange�installation. When an administrator has locked down permissions like denying users permission to create top-level public folders, those customizations are now retained.�This is a change from Exchange 2000 Server.��
