Can you rename it? Can you create a new one? If the solutions to these aren't obvious - call PSS.

Someone did create a All Global Address Lists 2 entry in adsiedit following this procedure: 1. Create an object called "CN=All Global Address Lists 2" * Assign it to the class "addressBookContainer 2. Create on object under "CN=All Global Address Lists 2" called "CN=Default Global Address List" * Assign it to the class "addressBookContainer 3. Modify the attribute in obect "CN=Microsoft Exchange" * Change attribute "globalAddressList" to point to new the GAL e.g. "CN=Default Global Address List, CN=All Global Address List 2,CN=Address List Container,CN=domain,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com My problem is that there is a leftover of CN=All Global Address Lists and when i try to look at properties it errors out: An invalid directory pathname was passed. I cannot delete it either. So i am still stuck at: Organization Preparation FAILED The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); install-GlobalAddressLists -DomainController $RoleDomainController" was run: "Active Directory operation failed on corpvdc02.corp.local. The object 'CN=All Global AddressLists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=CORP,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=CORP,DC=local' already exists.".
