Dear Peter, Only OU=Microsoft Exchange Security Groups shown in Domain Tree and all Values are NOTSET, there's No container as I mentioned "DC=com,DC=qa on the otherWellKnownObjects attribute in the con tainer object CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=c om,DC=qa points to an invalid DN or a deleted object."

This white paper explains how to remove otherwellknownobjects using LDP.exe tool http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288907(EXCHG.80,printer).aspx Yeshwanth
