Re: Help deleting orphan Offline Address List

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Address Lists reside in two places:

1. The active directory under the address list container
2. In the information store.

Generally when you remove the address list from the active directory it will
get removed from the information store when the information store
maintenance schedule kicks in.

I would turn up diagnostic logging for online maintenance and see if you are
having any problems there first!!!, as this can indicate that things are not
working as expected. If you really need to delete it using means that are
not normal (I.E. Exchange working as it should) you can follow this blog I
wrote and instead delete the root folder (the address list in question).

ONLY delete - /o=OABGen/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Your Address List In
Question.

I urge you to try to troubleshoot this first by using diagnostic logging and
see why the store is not removing it as expected.

I am trying to clean up some Offline Address Book errors that pop up in my
event viewer like ID 9331 for example.

In ESM, if I view System Folders (inside Public Folders) and expand the
Offline Address Book folder, there is an orphan address list in there I
can't delete.

When I try to delete it, a password box pops up for domain\administrator
and I enter the password. After entering the password Windos throws me an
error box.

The list in questions shows that it is connected to the server as is the
Deafalt Offline Address list. Any ideas how to get rid of this? I tried
to locate it with ADSIEDIT but could not find it.

Thanks
