Hi there,
I hope when you removed that DC/GC,,,that's not the first domain controller,
and that's not the only one DC/GC in your infrastructure, is that ?

right click on the server name in ESM, check for directory access if it is
still listed
the removed DC/GC. And also check in recipient update, what is the domain
controller
listed over there ? Per my experience, the domain controller listed in
recipient update is always
the first domain controller, primary domain controller. And if it is the one
you removed, you
will have problems!!!

Seizing domain controller will help!!!

Regards,
J.H
