Do to a previous unsucessful installation of Exchange which was manually removed from AD, although not completely we now have two of every object within the Exchange OU that is setup during Exchange installation. I now have groups called Exchange Trusted Subsyetm and Exchange Trusted Subsyetm1 to use an example. I want to eliminate the duplicates but don't know if their is a standard or "better" procedure than manually removing the duplicates myself. If there isn't I will go ahead and remove the duplicates but which should I remove the original objects or the one with a 1 appened to the name. I don't feel that it should matter since they are groups but I fear a SID conflict. Thanks for any help.

Hi, You can delete the Duplicate Exchange Trusted Subsyetm1. Group from ADUC. Post the result.Gulab | MCITP: Exchange 2010-2007 | Skype: Gulab.Mallah | Blog: www.ExchangeRanger.Blogspot.com

Hi, The safe way is delete all the exchange Group, then run setup /PrepareAD to recreate the new groups.
