Hi everyone,
I am having some trouble upgrading our current Exchange 2007 SP1 to SP3 (or SP2 for that matter).
I get the following error message:
Organization Preparation
Failed
Error:
Active Directory operation failed on dc01.domain.local. The object 'CN=Default Global Address List,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=domain,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local' already exists.
The object exists.
At some point i think the "Default Global Address List" was either renamed or deleted.
I have tried to confirm this by running the following command:
Get-GlobalAddressList -identity "Default Global Address List"
Get-GlobalAddressList : The operation could not be performed because object 'Default Global Address List' could not be found on domain controller 'dc01.domain.local'.
At line:1 char:22
+ Get-GlobalAddressList <<<< -identity "Default Global Address List"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Get-GlobalAddressList], Manage
mentObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AA67EC7F,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemCon
figurationTasks.GetGlobalAddressList
I have also tried to verify this by looking directly in the container using ADSI Edit. There is no object there with the name "Default Global Address List".
If i try to create a new global address list with the name "Default Global Address List" it also states that there already is an object with this name.
Anyone have any ideas?
