No - The problem is that I will need to take the original server down before
I start up the new server with the same name. I did do a publish to the new
server with a different name, but all the links were recalculated with the
new server name - plus that is where I had the most difficulties with the
permissions.
Once I changed the name to the old name - it did do a recalculation and
restored all the old links to the old name - but my original problem with the
permissions were still there.
The only way I could access the webs with FrontPage was on the server
itself. I could not from my workstation. (I have full domain admin priv).
The only way that I could access from my workstation was to give "everyone"
full permissions to the webs.
I am thinking about restoring from a backup - then removing the FP
extensions - then reapplying them - then re-applying permissions.
Is there a prolem wit this type of plan?
Thanks,
Tom C
