Yes, I've done this a number of times, but it isn't forcing the remote site to remove the unnecessary directory entries. It looks like removing the directory connector and waiting for the directory to clear on the remote site is going to take care of the problem. Thanks for your input Athif.

Athif -----Original Message----- From: Lara, Greg [mailto:GLara@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 8:48 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 5.5 server directory updates http://www.MSExchange.org/ I've got a strange replication problem with one of my Exchange 5.5 sites. The directory in that site does not reflect deletions of objects from other sites. There are quite a few mailboxes listed in the Global Address List of that site that have long been deleted from their respective sites. If I add mailboxes to other sites, those do show up, it's only deleted items that aren't being updated. I see no errors in the event log, and I've turned up diagnostic logging for the directory service to medium for replication. Anything else I should try?
