Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you find the following
error message from delusr.log file:
====================================
Remove user on date: Wed Nov 22 10:51:32 2006

User account name:
LDAP://CN=AA,OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=LAH,DC=lahdomain,DC=local
Home folder: \\LAHSERVER\Users\aa
The home folder for this user account could not be removed.
Failed to delete user's quota with error [0x80070050]. This can occur if
the user still has files on the server.
The user account was removed.
=======================================
If I am off base, please feel free to let me know.

First at all, if the issue is urgent to your business, it is recommended
that you contact Microsoft Product Support Services via telephone so that
a dedicated Support Professional can assist you recover the server in a
more efficient manner. Please be advised that contacting phone support
will be a charged call.

regional support phone numbers.

Based on my test, you need manually delete the home folder after you
deleted the user. By default, Administrators group have full control
permission on all home folder. Also, if you configure Disk Quota settings
for this user on the server, you can refer to the following steps to delete
it:

Right click Partition, such as D:\ -> Properties -> Quota -> Quota Entries,
please delete the appropriate quota entries.

However, if you cannot access \\LAHSERVER\USERS\AA, you can use
administrator account to take ownership, and then delete it.

If you have any unclear, please feel free to let me know, I am looking
forward to your reply.

Have a nice day.
