    Domain Controller: Windows Server 2000, All updates installed.
                            Exchange 2000, All updates installed,

                            3 other servers in Domain
                            No backup Domain Controller

    Domain controller failed (Bad drive)

    Installed new drive,
    installed Windows server 2003,
            Domain Controller, same name & IP as Old Domain
    Installed Exchange 20003,
            same first storage group server name as old Exchange 2000

    Questions;

    1. Some domain shared directories with restricted access under old Windows
    2000 Domain will not re share or allow access from network administrator.
    Even when logged in locally as administrator, the directories will still not
    allow access.
            How can I get access to these directories to either copy contents or adjust
    permissions?

    2. I have a backup of the Exchange 2000 first storage group (through Windows
    backup). How can I import it or restore it to the new Exchange 2003 server?
