Those objects are ActiveSync device associations. Exchange 2010 stores activesync devices as child nodes of the user object.

Smith Subject: RE: Deleting Mailboxes in Exchange 2010 I'm just getting back to this issue. The object does not have the protection checked off. I'm just not sure what to do. I'm hesitant to go ahead with the deletion. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks. From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 12:07 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Deleting Mailboxes in Exchange 2010 This is "deletion protection". When you create new objects using the 2008/2008R2 ADUC, there is a checkbox that says "protect this object from accidental deletion" or something like that. I believe it's checked by default. This is that protection coming into play. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Kiernan, Margaret M.

I delete the User in AD and that deletes the account in AD along with the mailbox. Recently, I have two mailboxes that generate the following error: "Object <user name> contains other objects. Are you sure you want to delete object <user name> and all of the objects it contains? If you cancel the running deletion, the objects deleted thus far will not be recovered. WARNING: if you select User Delete Subtree server control check box (which is below this sentence), all objects within the subtree, including all delete-protected objects, will be deleted, and the deletion cannot be canceled. Yes or No" Can anyone give insight into this?
