Hi. I create a New Global Address List because the GAL Default "Default Global Address List" is damaged. The new GAL is asigned to users but I can not delete "Default Global Address List", in Adsiedit show the GAL. Attempt delete but show message "An invalid directory pathname was passed". I appreciate you help!!! Regards,Carlos Morales http://itprosmex.blogspot.com/

i doubt .. we can delete default GAL.

I am sure that it is becausee Setup /forestprep, does not completed properly and thus permissions are not applied properly. You may proceed to the steps below to confirm it and find a solution: 1. Open ADSI Edit and go to CN=Configuration; CN=Services; select CN=Microsoft Exchange under the Configuration container: 2. Right-click CN=Microsoft Exchange, and select Properties. 3. From the Attributes tab, under Select which properties to view, click Both. 4. From the Select what property to view pull-down menu, select Heuristics. If the value is set to 2, then you have already run ForestPrep. Solution is : reset the Heuristics property, click Clear, and then click Apply. The Value(s) field will have change to 'not set'.

Hi ManU, the attribute Heuristics is shown "Not Set". If attribute was already Not Set, I can to do delete Default Global Address List. ThanksCarlos Morales http://itprosmex.blogspot.com/
