Exchange 2000 SP3 Native Mode
Windows 2000 SP4

Ok,
I went and did a silly thing by disabling a few accounts,
that were no longer used for login or email. Didn't delete
the account or mailbox for archive purposes. Turns out
that this caused a mess since the disabled accounts did
not have a msExchMasterAccountSID attribute, so the
mailboxes were no longer accessible even after enabling
them.

I went ahead and granted the SELF account in the Mailbox
Rights of the Exchange Advanced Tab in order to generate
the msExchMasterAccountSID attribute. I verified its
creation with ADSI edit, but I still can not access one of
the mailboxes.

Any Ideas. Thanks in advance.. Error Logs below

account as this user's master account.
