Hi,
Let me start from the AD setup I have: WS 2012 (Primary DC), WS2003 (Secondary), 2 x 2008R2 DCs.
I had a child OU (Test) in one of the root OUs (Sales Users) and I was trying to move Test OU to the root out of Sales Users by dragging and dropping it. As soon as I release the mouse button to drop the OU I received the message that I needed to confirm the operation. As soon as I did both Test and Sales Users disappeared. However, Sales Users still stayed in the root directory but without a regular icon and I wasn't able to access it neither I could delete it. Some time after Sales Users OU disappeared as well, so I was hoping to recreate and start creating users. Replication worked just fine, because as soon as I realized that I have a "ghost" folder and users I tried to login to other DCs but they already have the corrupted folder.
I created the OU, but when I try to recreate users with the same names it's giving me the following error: "Windows cannot create the new users object because the pre-Windows 2000 logon name "user's name" is already in use. Select another name, and then try again." All users still able to login using their domain names and passwords, but none of them can be found.
Any advice would be appreciated. My goal is to delete those users, fix the AD structure and recreate them again.
Thank you,
Alex
