If there is no longer a conflicting object then rename it. If there is than
delete one of them. This happens when on two DCs you (within a single
replication cycle) create two objects with the same RDN which would not lead to
a consistent directory if AD didn't do something.
Thanks. I found
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218614>
which shows how to use "search.vbs" to see all such conflicted
replications. And I also found like 32 of them, all in the
"ObjectMoveTable" attribute, in the SYSTEM section of AD U&C. For the
moment, I will leave those there, as I am unfamiliar with those objects,
and I don't want to screw anything (else) up. :-)
I did remove the other CNF objects that were based on a group entry,
tho. Which should solve the immediate problem of LDAP lookups returning
funky results ...
Thanks,
Brian Desmond

On 8/10/2010 11:11 AM, Mike Leone had this to say:
As part of a Lotus upgrade project, the consultants have been making
LDAP caalls to AD, to lookup users, and get the list of groups they
belong to. And we've noticed a user with some groups that look like this:
"CN=Remote Control
Operators\0ACNF:ea55fc7c-26e5-4d90-8203-a9ef411402f6,CN=Users,DC=...."
Well, I did find these groups in AD (in the Users folder), and we
*think* they were created by LANDesk upgrades over the years (or perhaps by
failed LANDesk upgrades). The members of these groups were the groups for
LANDesk Remote Control.
So I removed the members (I was leery about removing the group completely,
without more info). So hopefully that should resolve the weird lookups.
