How to update DistinguishedName for user ?
So here is something we need to update but when trying to do this from Adsiedit.msc, gives an error . Could someone suggest me a way to update this DistinguishedName  in exchange ? 

CN=TobeUpdated,OU=users,OU=VPs,DC=Abc,DC=Com

The DistinguishedName attibute is generated based on where the AD Object is located in active directory. You cannot simply change the path. The way to chagne the path is to move the AD object to another OU in your AD environment.

You can use Powershell (move-adobject) cmdlet or you can do this from the GUI (ADUC).

If your Exchange environment and AD environment do not match up with your DN then i would suggest that there is some replication issues between AD/Exchange.

Will.
