Hi Guido, There is no secret behind the wall :o) This is the full story. I have Active Directory Connectors that permit bidirectionnal replication of all 5.5 mailboxes <-> Active Directory Forest. The pb is that i had an issue where a user object had the ADC-Global-names mapped with multiple users DN and that is something wrong with the system. The fact is when the user (with multiple ADC-Global-names) has been deleted from AD, the deletion (from the tombstoned container) effects all the exchange mailboxes that correspond to the ADC-Global-names populated in that user !!!! So 5 milboxes were deleted. So i disable the deletion from Windows -> Exchange to occur. And i wondered if there was a way to delete *ONLY* the user in question. Just to remind, the tombstoned container in AD is also replicated via the connection agreement. Thanks, Yann

What secret information does the tombstone contain, that you don't wish remains in it? Realize that there are hardly any attributes that remain in the tombstone by default, unless you've changed the searchflags of your attributes to include more. E.g. by default, only the following attributes are kept in a user account's tombstone from the searchflags are: Instance-Type Legacy-Exchange-DN NT-Security-Descriptor Object-Class Object-Guid Object-Sid Repl-Property-Meta-Data SAM-Account-Name System-Flags uid User-Account-Control USN-Changed USN-Created Note that a few other attributes are hardcoded in AD to remain in the tombstone. If these really contain anything critical you'd want to get rid of (maybe in the name attribute etc.), you'd have the option to reanimate the tombstone (undelete) and then edit it appropriately, and delete it again :-). I'm actually unsure if the system allows you to edit the object in the deleted items container directly - might be worth a try. /Guido ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ulf B.

Hello Tiroa, it is not possible to purge Tombstones, no matter if one or all. For all you'd be able to modify tombstone lifetime and the system time, however I strongly doubt this would be supported by MS (tombstone-lifetime is supported, modifying systemtime to enforce garbage collection of tombstones most likely not).
