Resolved Issues

This hotfix resolves the following issue.

• Effect of export-import on MSDE user rights: when an MSDE database that contains tables, views, or stored procedures created by the site administrator is exported and then imported through the control panel, it becomes inaccessible to existing users.
  
  Resolution: When restoring a database, the site administrator and Web site user's permissions were being reset. This has been changed to retain the permissions as they were during the export operation.
