Where else could an Active Directory User be if not in the Users folder?
I was playing with some code to create a new user in Active Dirctory and put that user in a specified group. When I checked the users folder inside the Domain, the new user is NOT listed. That user is listed under the specific group however stating it is a user in the domain. Domain.com\Users = NO Domain.com = YES Is there a trick to finding this listing so I can delete it? Even though it doesn't show, it is on my Users report.

1. Try to search in AD for the user and if found check the object locations and try to delete or browse via adsiedit and then delete the object. 2. Ask the AD team - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/threadsSukh

Hi, Just try this:If not work please contact post it in AD forum as Sukh mentioned. go to AD Users & Computers, right-click on your Domain | Find | change the Find drop-down to "Custom Search" (you could also change the "IN" drop-down to "Entire Directory" if you have more than 1 domains) | go to Advanced tab | type "(proxyAddresses=smtp:user@domain.com)". This will give you the object - of any type (user, group, contact, public folders... ) - that has that email address.

Rowen - I wanted to thank you - part of the problem was that I was experimenting with code calls and not setting up the email - we run AD on our Exchange Server so until I gave them an email account through code, they wouldn't show on the list.
