SYMPTOMS

When you create a user and an alias to the user in a group, and then create an alias from that alias, the second alias does not follow the same deletion rules as the first alias. When you delete the user, the first alias is deleted at the same time. However, the second alias is not deleted. When you click the second alias object, the following error message appears:
The Object member = Member=aliasname,list=listname,ou=OU,dc=domain,dc=dom is not available: 32
If the alias object is deleted, the second alias object is deleted automatically.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, manually delete the second alias.
