Is the server where ADC used to be installed gone? If not, I'd recommend using ADC Utility (which name escapes me) to remove the CAs.
Otherwise, yes, I guess you'll have to. (It's been a couple of years since I manually removed ADC - I used to could do that in my sleep. But I've forgotten the details...) Regards, Michael B.

There are still lingering 5.5 connectors in the Org.. . It seems that I have to go into ADSIedit and remove the CA's in there before I can remove the connectors since I can't connect to any of them trough the 5.5 admin console.

This means that ADC (the Active Directory Connector) is still in the environment from when you upgraded from 5.5. The RIGHT answer here is to fully remove the remnants of ADC from the environment. To work around it - does that account still exist? If so, just change the password to one you do know... Regards, Michael B.

No, you can't change it there - after you've installed the first Exchange Server in the organization. That is by design. You have to use the Delegate Permissions window, as I suggested - it will show you who currently has that permission and if necessary, you can add someone new (preferably a group you have created for the purpose, not an individual).

I'm trying to install an additional server into an Admin Group. The problem is, the customer I'm working for doesn't remember the password to the account that was used to install Exchange in the first place. Is there anyway I can change this so I can continue to install an Exchange server?
