The tool you use isn't really of importance here, it's the interfaces
the tool uses and whether it is able to provide a means of clearing up
this stale phantom ... for the moment though, we'll stick with LDP.
Please try the following -
1. run LDP
2. connect and BIND against an offending DC
3. Select Browse --> Modify
4. Set the DN to null (or nothing, nada, zip squat, empty)
- I think I got that across ;o)
5. set the attribute to checkPhantoms
6. set the value to 1
7. click Enter
8. click run and note the results in the right pane to ensure success
9. remove the entry in the entry list
10. now set the attribute to doLinkCleanup
11. set the value to 1
12. click enter
13. click run and note the results in the right pane to ensure success
I would also find it useful to have an understanding of your forest
structure; # of domains, # of DCs, OS versions etc.
Finally, have you removed the trust relationship to the old forest.

This has been an issue ever sincethe domain and exchagne server were
removed manually. I followed a KB on how to remove a domain and
Exchange 2003 manually. The exchange 2003 and domain are part of a
forest that is no longer in service, there was a trust in place for
this forest and my production forest, and the exchange server in
question was originally isntalled in the same admin group and
routing group as my production exchagne org.
Now this forest is no longer, and i am not getting any AD erorrs in my
production environment about this forest, but i do get the error as
previously noted before on my exchange server, it is unwilling to
remove object guid this object guid matches the guid of the exchange
domain servers of the exchagne server that was manually removed, so i
am thinking if i can use LDP to manually remove this guid from AD
then i will stop seeing these errors
Skip
:
The object is listed as being a member of the exchange enterprise
admins group. Thanks for the help i really appreciate it

Hi
When i ran the command you originally gave me it listed the guid in
question as being in th Exchange enterprise admins group, so when i
ran ldp.exe and drilled down to the Exchagne enterprise admins
using LDP, I could see
ocsmail\0ADEL:9b760d2d-fecd-41ae-817f-7aae317f5a27,DC=com . I want
to remove this because this object belogs to an exchange 2003
server and domain that was manually removed, and as you can see not
all attributes of the manuall uninstall were correctly removed. Now
in my production exchagne 2003 servers in the app log i get errors
that say "LDAP Modify on directory nwpcascdc01.nwpsc.com for entry
'<GUID=607F86B5-7FBD-4CFF-A946-4D3518E45061>' was unsuccessful with
error:[0x35] Unwilling To Perform. DC=nwpsc,DC=comhello all
Also ocsmail\0ADEL:9b760d2d-fecd-41ae-817f-7aae317f5a27,DC=com is
listed in my ADUC but i cant remvoe it, i cant even remove it using
ADSIEDIT.
Thanks for any more help

I found the item in LDP that i want to delete, but i dont know the
proper
way to delete it. I want to delete

Sure, but it's easier to describe using the following
single-lined equiv. LDIFDE syntax within a command prompt -
ldifde -f con -d "<GUID=607F86B5-7FBD-4CFF-A946-4D3518E45061>" -p
base -l 1.1

can i use ldp.exe to search for a guid

My exchagne 2003 server keeps giving me an error in the
application log
LDAP Modify on directory nwpcascdc01.nwpsc.com for entry

I think this guid may belong ot a user, but i dont know how to
search for the guid using LDP
Many thanks for any help
