Hi Chris, You could try using ADRestore, its a utility that 'undeletes' items that have been deleted or (tombstoned) in AD. If the AD Cleanup hasn't deleted he item permanently you can easily restore the group. Search for ADRestore on Google... Good Luck!

The 'Exchange Services' security group that is created when ADC is deployed has been deleted. I am having some issues as a result. How should I go about recovering this group and/or reassigning permissions that it had before deletion. your help is greatly appreciated.
