Disaster recovery…

by mdbrewer . Updated 24 years, 7 months ago

I’m currently working on a server that suffered a pretty severe crash. The drive had to be formatted. Lucky for me, the hd was partitioned into c:/d:. C: being the operating system/apps and d: being the app data and users home drive. The server operating system is Nt4 server. After the fresh install on c:, none of the users could get at their data on the d:\home partition.(each user has their own folder which gets created when the user account is created for the first time).I suspect this is because each user account has its own key identifier and when deleted, it is lost forever. I need to figure out a way around this and retrieve the data for each user. Can the user rights be inherited to the new user accounts? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
