Perhaps I'm not being clear, sorry Daniel. If you are running 2003 or SP4 on 2k, there is no QFE to be obtained. You have rapid demotion on your GCs already. Just click the box and wait for the process to finish. :)

If I understand your reply correctly, since my GC is a W2K3 server the removal/deletion should move along unless preempted. If it is still in the removal process Monday morning, I will contact my PSS rep and see if I can't get the KB from them.

Out of the box on 2k, we'll clean out 500 objects per KCC run. Since KCC runs every 15 mins, that translates to 2000 objects per hour that are cleaned out. This was changed in 2k03 to be as fast as we can so long as we aren't preempted, and this behavior was backported to 2k as of SP4. So if you have SP4 on the GC, you will get the rapid demotion behavior. There should be a KB on this....ah here it is. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;325378 Oh look at that typo....it says "slow to remove connection objects" when it should be "slow to remove objects". I'll submit a change request to get that fixed. ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 5:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GC removal :o) Nod, the serious part was about Dean's previous post. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gilbert, Daniel L Mr ANOSC/FCBS Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GC removal C'mon Joe, I knew I could do that, I was trying to find a way to speed up nature/evolution.

I know the proper Microsoft steps, but I was hoping there was a script out there to speed up the process.
