I am going to try that, nice one. I am still puzzled why I cannot run forestprep. Can anybody tell me what I have to do to be able to run forestprep without any errors?

Example: if your local time is 20:05, then you will type "at 20:06 /interactive cmd.exe" This will open an other instance of cmd.exe 1 mn after your local time. This second instance of cmd.exe is running under the local system account, type whoami and u will see it. 3) at the second instance of cmd.exe, launch ESM [1] or type DSACLS "CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=First Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Example,DC=com" /N /G "Authenticated Users":SDRCWDWOWPRPCALO [1]: after reading the whole KB, I will use the dsacls command suggested by the KB because , the command will do the job for u as resetting the good ACEs for Authenticated Users.

Does that mean you have to start ESM from that same command prompt window? _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TIROA YANN Sent: maandag 6 februari 2006 19:28 To: [email protected] Subject: RE : [ActiveDir] Exchange - ESM - "All Address Lists" and "All Global Address Lists" disappeared To right answer your question : Yes. I use ESM instead of dsacls because I get use granting ACL with GUI .... :o) Yann _____ De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] de la part de Victor W.

Do you mean to run the command which resets the permissions for the Authenticated users under local system priviliges? Cheers, Victor _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TIROA YANN Sent: maandag 6 februari 2006 16:30 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange - ESM - "All Address Lists" and "All Global Address Lists" disappeared Hi, The only way to revert your organization accessible is to run the command under "Local System" privileges by passing this command in a command line windows as this: c:\>at <time> /interactive cmd.exe Ex : c:\>at 12:00 /interactive cmd.exe So at 12:00, a command prompt will appear with "Local System" privileges ( type whiami to be sure). Tip: if you connect to your server via RDP, the command will not be interactive and the command shell will not appear unless you active the /console in your RDP conection. However, just open a session directly to you r exchange server. Now you can open properly ESM with "Local System" privileges, and give full access to a user at the organisation level. After regainning total access to your exchange oraganisation server, run a /forestprep and /domainprep for the Systeme attendant to be in a stable state. Let us know if that works for you.

Envoyé : lundi 6 février 2006 16:05 À : [email protected] Objet : RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange - ESM - "All Address Lists" and "All Global Address Lists" disappeared I had the chance to look at the actual problem today and hereunder I will describe the problem and what I have tried to resolve it: Problem: The All Address Lists container has dissapeared from ESM, as well as the All Global Address Lists container. >From within Outlook it is as iff you can display the All Address List but you are presented with an error message when you actually select it, the same error message is displayed when clicking "check name" when creating a new Outlook profile. I know what happened, what has caused this; somebody had denied Everyone and Authenticated Users acces to this list. I found a MS article which deals with exactly this, if I am right: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=286296 When I try this in a command prompt: DSACLS "CN=Default Global Address List,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=First Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Example,DC=com" I get the following error message: "Object path is not valid, please correct it" When I try this in a command prompt: DSACLS "CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=First Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Example,DC=com" /N /G "Authenticated Users":SDRCWDWOWPRPCALO I get the following error message: "The system cannot find the file specified". >From within Adsi Edit I can see In the right hand pane: "CN=All Address Lists" and "CN=All Globall Address Lists" They are at the following location: CN=Configuration,CN=Services,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Domain,CN=AddressListContainer When I right click either of those two and ask for properties, I get the message that an invalid directory was passed. When I try to delete either of those two I get the message that there are other property sheets opened and that need to close first. It is as if the objects are visible but arent really there any more. As suggested I tried running setup: /forestprep but I get an error almost at the end of forestprep: "Setup failed while installing sub-component Microsoft Exchange Organization-Level Container Children with error code 0x80071392 (please consult the installation logs for a detailed description). You may cancel the installation or try the failed step again". I took the relevant piece from the Exchange Server Setup Progress Log: "[09:30:39] Creating organization address books [09:30:39] Entering CAtomOrgCtChildren::ScCreateOrgLevelAddressBooksCTAndObjs [09:30:39] CAtomOrgCtChildren::ScCreateOrgLevelAddressBooksCTAndObjs (f:\titanium\admin\src\udog\exsetdata\components\server\a_orgctchildren.cxx: 1815) Error code 0X80071392 (5010): The object already exists.

The article also talks about renaming the Exchange System Objects OU and the fact that renaming it isnt possible if the Objectclass attribute of that OU has the value msExchSystemObjectsContainer. Even though in my case the OU has indeed got an Objectclass attribute, I can rename it anyway. I tried renaming this OU and ran forestprep again but still the same stop error. I wunder if I really renamed this OU, I mean I can right click it and rename it but the article says that it isnt possible, so I was wondering if it had really been renamed. I tried to remove the value of the Objectclass attribute but this gave me an errormessage telling me that this was an invalid operation, so I stopped there, not wanting to mess up anything. The System State backup the firm has, is one from last night and the problem occured a week ago so restoring AD in that sense is unfortunately not an option. I hope anybody can help me further with this. It should at least be possible to run forestprep or perhaps there are even other suggestions about handling this problem. Cheers and many thanks in advance, Victor _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TIROA YANN Sent: vrijdag 3 februari 2006 10:12 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange - ESM - "All Address Lists" and "All Global Address Lists" disappeared Hi Victor, I just had this issue last week ! The All Address Lists has disapeared from ESM !!! In fact "someone" (saw in security event log of my DC) who has the full exchange admin on the organisation has made an error and deleted the "All Address Lists", then he tried to recreate it but could not due to some replication issues, and a collision occured ! So i wanted to confirm this by I opening ADSIEDIT, go to "CN=LostAndFoundConfig,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,,DC=fr", i saw that the List was there but suffixed with a CNF as this: "CN=All Address ListsCNF;feffgee....", same as all chid lists and my personnal @ lists. So that telling that the lists was duped, and due replication issue, a collision occured. So I deleted the the duped lists, ran forestprep, and the "All Address Lists" appeared in ESM. For your issue, you have also lost the GAL, so do not forget to check: 1) that the GAL is associated to the Offline GAL in ESM. 2) rebuild the Offline GAL. One issue i had is for Outlook 2k3 in cache mode: 1) For those clients that are configured in cache mode (.ost and .oab), you must force your client to download the GAL + All Address Lists +GAL. 2) For those that are configured in cache mode (only .ost), you also must to force the download of the GAL. Hope that helps. Yann _____ De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Victor W.

Smith Sent: vrijdag 3 februari 2006 2:04 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange - ESM - "All Address Lists" and "All Global Address Lists" disappeared As Tony said, if they are deleted and you need the specific contents back, an authoritative restore is your appropriate response. If the defaults work for you, you might just try rerunning forestprep and domainprep, then touching each store setting the GAL for the store. I have seen security changes make them "appear" to disappear. adsiedit.msc is where you go to deal with that....(although, again, rerunning forestprep and domainprep will probably take care of it for you) _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Victor W.

I have not checked (via adsiedit) if they are still in the Config.Nam.Context cause I just heard this and have not had the chance to actually look at it. If they are gone from the conf.nam.cont. how can I get these folders back and what if they are visible there but not in ESM. Any help is greatly appreciated.
