John: >From my experience, I've found that on the offending machine when you click on it in adsiedit there will be information in the right hand pane whereas on "normal" machines the right-hand pane will be blank. You can try deleting it from the left-hand pane, I've always been able to do so. I'm sure others will have better ideas if this doesn't work

I've launched it, went under Domain, and went into the OU that contains the user that I can't delete. I see "CN=[username]" for that account. Do I just delete it from there? -----Original Message----- From: Kent, Larry CTR USA IMCOM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 2:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can't Delete User Use adsiedit -----Original Message----- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 2:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Can't Delete User I've got a user I can't seem to delete from Active Directory. When I try to delete him, I get a dialog that says: "Object is a container and contains other objects. Are you sure you want to delete object and the objects it contains?" So I click "Yes", and am promptly given a dialog box that says: "The object (or some of the objects it contains) cannot be deleted because access is denied." Huh?
