2 days ago I had a Hard Drive crash on my exchange server <<<< no big deal
it was Raid 5
but after some inspection I found that the RAID backplane was screwed so a
discussion was made to create a new server and put Exchange on it.
No big Deal, configured the server renamed the old on server which was SPOCK
to SPOCK1 named the new server SPOCK now SPOCK1 is/was a BDC the new Spock
is not E-mail is up and running fine but I have noticed some residual
problems. Anywhere I had given a local group access to a mailbox they can no
longer see it. It tells them that no do not have permission to view the
mailbox. Any Ideas? please this has me stumped
If I need to make this a BDC is there any way to make a normal server a BDC
with having to completely reinstall?

Please help

Your correct, a local group on a DC is local to all DCs, but not
member servers. Your best bet is to create a new group as a global
group with the same membership, then add this new group as the sole
member to the local group on the DCs (delete the individual users out,
since they are members of the global group). This will prevent you
from having to reassign all the permissions to the group on the DCs.

Now that you have a global group, use this to assign your rights on
the member server (Exchange server).

The only way to change a member server to DC is to reinstall NT.
