While surfing the Internet for a Sharepoint project I am working on I randomly found an Excel spreadsheet showing all of the roles in sharepoint and what permissions that gives you access to.
Totally unrelated to what I am working on but I thought it might be handy to keep a copy of as I am sure it will come in handy one day. ;o)
You can find it at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ReferenceTopics/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=216 under the Sharepoint 2007 Permissions Matrix link.

When trying to modify settings with a Exchange Distribution List that was added in HMC 3.5 and you have upgraded to HMC 4.0 you may get an error "The specified path is not a distribution list.".
The problem is that HMC 4.0 checks to see if the group scope is "universal" and the group type is "distribution". It checks this by looking at the groupType attribute on the AD object and making sure it has the value "8" (i.e. Universal Distribution Group).
This is an example of the error you might get.
<response>
<errorContext description="The specified path is not a distribution list."
code="0x80004005"
executeSeqNo="39">
<errorSource namespace="Error Provider"
procedure="SetError"/>
<errorSource namespace="Hosted Email 2007"
procedure="ModifyDistributionList"/>
</errorContext>
</response>
If you followed the Nebo Migration Whitepaper it says to run ImportExchangeObjects.cmd which calls ConvertGlobalToUniversalGroup.vbs. Unfortunately there is an error in the in-place version of ConvertGroup function in the code. Here is my version updating the code so that it doesn't say "Skipping built in MPS group. Moving on to next Group." for every group.
Function ConvertGroup(objUser)
Wscript.echo "Converting Group = " & objUser.Name
On Error Resume Next
Set re = new regexp
re.Pattern = "^Admins@"
'if this is a built in MPS group, skip it.
If re.Test(objUser.Name) Then
Err.Number = 42
ConvertGroup = Err.Number
Exit Function
End If
re.Pattern = "^CSRAdmins@"
' convert group
Set objGroup = GetObject ("LDAP://" & objUser.DistinguishedName)
objGroup.Put "groupType", ADS_GROUP_TYPE_UNIVERSAL_GROUP
objGroup.SetInfo
ConvertGroup = err.Number
End Function
