Hello all,
 
Following the steps in kb 822444 (How to reset system folders in
Exchange Server 2003) Whenever I use the GUIDGEN.exe tool to generate a
new GUID for the system folder, and when I put the new GUID in the
ADSIeidt it gives me the following error:
 
 "invalid format. A hexadecimal string must contain sets of tow digits
between 0 and FF. each set must be separated by a space. (I.e. "00 12 3A
FF")"
 
I've ADSIedit for Windows 2003 and I even tried all the formats:
 
For example: 
0x72 0xD9 0x69 0x1F 0xA2 0x19 0x4b 0x79 0x8F 0x24 0xC0 0xF6 0xE5 0xD2
0x11 0x5F
And: 
72 D9 69 1F A2 19 4b 79 8F 24 C0 F6 E5 D2 11 5F
And:
00 72 D9 FF 00 69 1F FF 00 A2 19 FF 00 4b 79 FF 00 8F 24 FF 00 C0 F6 FF
00 E5 D2 FF 00 11 5F FF
 
Anyone know the reason for the error? and how to accomplish resetting
system folders???
 
 
Thanks & Regards,
 
Waleed
