Put your ADU&C in advanced features view, and set the toggle to show "Users, 
Contacts, Groups, and Computers as containers.  Then, drill down to the 
person's user account in AD, and you should see the "ExchangeActiveSyncDevices" 
container, and inside of that are the objects.

I'm not saying delete from here-I don't know if that would work and am not 
recommending it, but I've seen some issues if AD permissions aren't correct 
(maybe because the person is getting AdminSDHolder settings applied, or due to 
other secured OUs).  Also, because this is stored in AD as part of the user 
object, I'd check that your AD replication is all synced up correctly and isn't 
having other issues.

No, it shows three.
However if I do "get-activesyncdevice | where {$_.deviceid -eq "DEVICEID"}" for 
each of them only two return results. The third (the phantom device) doesn't 
return an object nor does it throw an error.

Wow, never heard of that one!  Could they be devices that were used by that 
user at one time but have since been assigned to another user?  Would be hard 
to determine because EMS only spits out the two correct devices and ECP won't 
let you click it to get the DeviceID to run a query with.  Do any devices show 
under the ActiveSyncBlockedDeviceIDs property for the user?

Exchange 2010 SP3, Update Rollup 5.

I have several users who seem to have phantom ActiveSync partnerships.
For example, on one of them when I view them in Exchange Control Panel I see 3 
devices. When I do "Get-ActiveSyncDevice -Mailbox" for them I see two devices.

If I try to delete or view details on the third device in Exchange Control 
panel I get the following error: "The item(s) you are trying to open couldn't 
be found."

What's causing this and how do I eradicate these devices?
