 Schema attribute permissions recovery
Hi guys, I'd really appreciate if you could help me with problem described below. The "Full Access Deny" permissions to "Authenticated Users" have been mistakenly applied to one of the schema attribute in the forest. The attribute is the extinsionsAttribute6 from exchange add-on. Apparently nobody can access this attribute any longer to restore the permissions or just to delete and recreate the attribute. Also, this is causing the "Users and Computers" snap-in to fail when showing the Exchange advanced -Custom Attribute tab. The tab appears completely blank and some error message pops up as well. Is it possible to recover the attribute permission or delete the it from the schema. I'm aware of that authoritative restore can not be applied to the schema so I don't think I can use a backup. Please advise.
