We are running WS 2008 R2. There is an unknown object in the active directory that used to be a user account. I just took over administration 3 days ago; I don't know why it's in that state, but the user needs this account back asap. Here's what I've done:
- I've gone through the steps here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379509%28v=ws.10%29.aspx on the DC but they didn't help, as the object is not listed in the tree under CN=Deleted. Rather it persists in the active users under CN=<name>,OU=<users>,DC=<my domain>,DC=<com>. This is what displays when I double click the entry in ldp.exe:
Expanding base 'CN=<name>,OU=<users>,DC=<mydomain>,DC=<com>'...
Getting 1 entries:
Dn: CN=<name>,OU=<users>,DC=<mydomain>,DC=<com>
Nothing else appears in ldp.exe, such as attributes, etc.
- I have also made certain the administrative account retains ownership of the object with full permissions, but it says that it cannot display the attributes for this object in AD because I may not have permissions.
Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
