Hi Hagman,

Sounds like you might have restored too much of the server. I would
recommend doing the following.

1) Flatten the current restore box
2) Install Windows 2k and make it a domain controller for it own domain
(separate from your production domain)
3) Install Exchange 5.5 with the same Org and site name but do not join the
site
4) Restore the pub from tape
5) Run DS/IS against the Pub with the remove zombie users option, and the
create/rehome directory object option.

That should give your service account full control over the public folder.
It should just be a simple matter of either installing outlook on the server
or joining a client to the "test" domain and extracting the data to PST.

Thank You for Your hints.
I tried to do it a little less aggressive,but in my understanding
mostly equivalent:
I kept the OS intact (NT4.0), but deleted the USER_X (to make him a
zombie).
I uninstalled Exchange 5.5 and continued with Your steps 3), 4), 5).
However, the folders remain inaccessible.
I get a lot of events like this (which I don't find in eventid.net):

EventID: 7024
Source: MSExchangeIS Public
Type: Information
Category: DS/IS-Interference (?? In German: DS/IS-Wechselwirkungen)
The public folder /foo/bar has now owner

This shows that the zombie owner has been removed, but it doesn't look
like Administrator had been added as a "default owner" :(
