I am not real good with the queries. I do a Find on mydomainname.com, and
search for pre-Win 2K logon names = to s* and it find about 10 accounts where
the pre-Win 2K login starts with S, but none of them are the Service account.
I remember specifically deleted the service account when I migrated. Also, I
am running in Native mode both Exchange and 2K3 AD. Is there any where else
the old 5.5 server may be sticking around in AD? I have searched ADSIEdit and
can't find any mention of the old server.
Thanks!
