Can't say on the adfind/admod pairing...I'm waiting for the DEC session on JoeWare in a couple of weeks :-)
What object got returned by adfind? Is it something you can get to with ADUC? If so, Exchange Tasks->Remove all Exchange Attributes may be the cleanest way to make sure that all of the right bits get removed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 1:35 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Cc: joe Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Remove orphaned account Ok, now I'm getting somewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong. Would this be the correct command to find and remove that account that the SMTP address is associated with?

When I do a normal AD search for that SMTP address, it does not return any results. That adfind command didn't find any results either. -Devon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Coleman, Hunter Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 3:12 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Remove orphaned account How quickly did you try to reuse that SMTP address? I've seen that when I delete a mailbox or contact and immediately try to apply the address to another object. Might be worth verifying that the address is gone: Adfind -gc -b dc=domain,dc=com -s subtree -f "proxyaddresses=*youraddress*" name -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 12:52 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Remove orphaned account I have a user account that I deleted in AD. When I try to add another user with that same SMTP address, it stated that the address already exists. When I do a search for that address in AD, I get no results. How can I remove this SMTP address from AD?
