    yes, I was cleaning up the ADUC and I moved some exchange service accounts
(I can't remeber which ones at the moment) from the users container to a
container called service accounts. Exchage then dies with a permisions error.
    I found an article about that happenning when you move them so I moved them
back and all has been fine since. Wierd huh?

Also, I am trying to modify the list for the Lan users, not the OWA users. I
would imagine that would a make a difference?
