I'm probably going to have to look at the server for this.

I'm thinking some of this is starting from this problem:

I had a BDC that I created while doing some tests. I
disconnected the BDC but I can't seem to delete it from the
Active Directory Users and Computers.

How do I delete such an item? Am I going to have go into
the registry and manually do it?
