XADM: Exchange Mailbox Marked for Deletion Should Not Appear for All Objects (252063)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q252063

SYMPTOMS

When you delete any Active Directory object that is not Exchange 2000-mailbox-enabled, you receive an Active Directory dialog box that states:

The selected object has other associated objects. Select those associated objects that you also want to delete.

The Remove Exchange e-mail addresses and delete Exchange mailbox option is selected by default, and you may or may not be able to change it, despite the fact that the object is not mailbox-enabled.

CAUSE

The Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in does not query for the existence of associated Exchange attributes and objects.

WORKAROUND

Ignore the dialog box, and click OK. The object will still be correctly deleted.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
