Hello Customer,

I am sorry to hear about that there are two all address list now.

Firstly I would like to confirm that have you checked PurportedSearch
before renaming the object?

Have you installed Exchange 2007 after renaming the object?

Please capture a screenshot of the object list:

1. Open ADSIEDIT.msc
2. Expand to following object

CN=Address Lists Container,CN=Greenbriar Associates,CN=Microsoft
Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=com'

3. Please expand both All Address Lists and then capture a screenshot and
send it to v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To capture the image, we can perform the steps below:

(a) When the error message appears, press the Print Screen key several
times (this key is located to the right of the F12 key on the keyboard)
(b) Open Paint ['start' => 'All Programs' => 'Accessories' => 'Paint'].
(c) Click Edit (menu) -> Paste or press Ctrl + V.
(d) Click File (menu) -> Save. Save it as a .jpg or .gif file and send it
to me as an attachment.

If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

Manfred Zhuang(MSFT)
