I'm formating the box, then doing a fresh install. <BR /> <BR /> Will the LU that it's attached to come back with all it's permissions still intact?<BR /> Thanks,<BR /> Mon, 20 Mar 2006 10:50:01 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/new-server-same-lu-permissions/m-p/638129#M2130 Hutch 2006-03-20T10:50:01Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/new-server-same-lu-permissions/m-p/638130#M2131 If you disconnect the LUN before the installation of W2003, it will not be altered in any way, but please understand that the SID (and thus, what I understand, as a result all local user identifiers) will change.

(as far as data loss goes) I just don't want to lose any data.<BR /><BR />As far as the SID goes, that is related to Active Directory, so maybe it will not be effected? <BR />Anyone know that for sure?
