I recently was preppring a database for decommissioning and discovered that some application userids had restricted access. Putting the database in restricted mode was ineffective in this instance. Spent almost a week tracking down the someone who could move the application moved to the new database. The person who "used to handle" the application had left the company several months earlier. Just another detail you may want to look at as you put the database in restricted mode.
