LDAP will not reanimate my deleted exchange AD objects cannot reinstall exchange HELP!!!
I had an exchange 2012 server go down inflames with no backup "Of corse". We reinstalled a new server but used a different name. Issue came up so it was uninstalled. In this action a tech removed the two containers fron AD in attempt to clean up. Now we are running into issues with AD. I have re run "setup /ps" then "setup /p" Below is the error. Can I just re create these containers manualy? I have followed many articals about using LDAP to remove these objects but but I cannot remove them! I desperatly need help with this. I even used the ADrestore toll and it justsays my exchange objects dont exist! Organization Preparation FAILED The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); initialize-ExchangeUniversalGroups -DomainController $RoleDomainController -ActiveDirectorySplitPermissions $RoleActiveDirector ySplitPermissions " was run: "The well-known object entry B:32:C262A929D691B74A9E068728F8F842EA:CN=Organization Management\0ADEL:71aa7263-82a2-4a5b-a1a0- 2b96d11d1b1f,CN=Deleted Objects,DC=ConnersDomain,DC=com on the otherWellKnownObjects attribute in the container object CN=Microsoft Exc hange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=ConnersDomain,DC=com points to an invalid DN or a deleted object.
