There is a Group called Everyone. Have you tried a different name? Like maybe 'All Employees' -----Original Message----- From: Rob Sharp [mailto:rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 11:15 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Problem adding Distribution List http://www.MSExchange.org/ Afternoon all, I'm running Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003. I've decided to create a Distribution Group titled 'Everyone' in order to simplify the task of sending mails out to all employees. Whenever I try to do this I get an error message saying:- Windows cannot create the object Everyone because: The specified user already exists. We're a small company so I've had a scan down the Users container and there is no Everyone user. I've also run a few AD searches which didn't turn up anything. We only have a single server holding AD details so its not a replication problem afaik. I just cannot see where this user might already exist. Is it some kind of reserved username?
