How do I delete a bad Exchange 5.5 container?

UnitySync connects to Exchange 5.5 using LDAP which is directly connected to the directory service. Sometimes UnitySync will write an object which the Exchange Administrator program has a problem with, such as a bad character or a missing attribute required by Administrator but not required by LDAP. UnitySync is designed to provide saveguards against such problems but when custom field mapping are used, problems can occur. Usually a bad custom recipient gets written and the unsync-ldap program will not work.

To remove the bad container use the following steps:

1. Run the Exchange Administrator program in RAW mode. Note: Be very carefull when running in raw mode and make sure you have an adequate backup.
   \exchsrvr\bin\admin/r
2. Select the container you would like to delete.
3. From the pulldown menu, select:
   Edit/Delete Raw Object
4. Press OK to confirm and Yes to proceed.
