hi

I'm unable to create an email address for a user in a domain.
Ik keeps saying it already exists.
I did exist in a child domain.  Meanwhile the child domain and his exchange 
server are removed from the domain tree.
No, not on  the proper way, I had to remove the child domain using ntdsutil 
and adsiedit.  (and this is probably the cause of my problem)
Now I wanna create a new user in the main domain with the same email address 
the user used to have in the child domain.  HOwever active directory still 
keeps finding the old email address.
I do see the old user is still listed in the address book.
I did ldifde -f export.txt and searched for the mail address but nothing can 
be found in the main domain.
I also tried a rebuild on RUS, but the address is still present in the 
address list.

Is there some way to remove that entry from the global address list ?
Or is that information still present in the GC ?
and can I change it ?

thanks in advance
Joost

Sounds like the child domain is still in the GC. How exactly did you 
remove the child domain?

yes it probably is.
The child domain was removed using ntdsutil and using adsiedit.
I didn't had the opportunity to properly remove it using dcpromo and demote 
the last dc from the child domain.

thanks

Again, how exactly did you remove the domain with ntdsutil and adsiedit.
