XADM: Removed AB View Containers Are Re-created Automatically (179200)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q179200 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Exchange version 5.0, after you remove empty containers from
Address Book (AB) views, the containers may be automatically regenerated.
CAUSE
If an Address Book View container stores only hidden recipients, the
container will appear to be empty, and Microsoft Exchange version 5.0 will
allow you to remove this container. This can be done either by using the
Remove Empty Containers button on the Advanced tab of the view's properties
dialog box, or by highlighting the container and using the Delete command
from the Edit menu. In either case, the view's container will be removed
but will be regenerated in the background as the Address Book views are
updated.
WORKAROUND
To remove an Address Book View container that appears to be empty, do the
following:
- Verify that there are no hidden recipients within the container. This
can be done with the Hidden Recipients command on the View menu.
- To remove the recipients, either delete them or modify their properties
so they are no longer associated with that Address Book view's
container.
- Remove the empty container by clicking Remove Empty Containers on the
Advanced tab of the view's Properties dialog box.
