The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cannot delete AD object using ldp.exe. 'Not allowed on Non-leaf' error returned

Asked by PaudhlLambert in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: , ,

Hello Experts,

I hope you can help with this annoying problem?
The background to this is as follows:

I have a Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition and a Virutal 2003 Server Standard Edition setup in MS Virtual Server on the SBS, acting as a Terminal Server.

To cut a long story short, I was setting up a Group Policy for the Terminal Server, got it wrong and decided to start from scratch.
In the process of setting up the GP I moved the Terminal Server Computer Object into a new OU called Maslows Terminal Servers, which I was going to apply the policy to.

When I decided to start again, I deleted the Terminal Servers OU, BUT forgot to move the Terminal Server Computer Object out first.

I now have what appears to be an orphaned object called Terminal Servers in the My Business folder, which I can't delete.
It also means that I can't recreate the Terminal Server Computer Object as AD replies that the object already exists in the domain.

When I try to delete the object from the Users and Computers mmc I get the following error:

"Windows cannot delete object Terminal Servers because: The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist."

I have changed the owner of the object to the administrator account with full control which made no difference

I have run ldp.exe and can see the object in the LADP tree and tried to delete it from there.
I get the following return:

deleting "OU=Maslows Terminal Servers,OU=MyBusiness,DC=Maslows,DC=local"...
Error <66>: failed to delete 'OU=Maslows Terminal Servers,OU=MyBusiness,DC=Maslows,DC=local'. {Not allowed on Non-leaf}.
Server error: 0000208C: UpdErr: DSID-030A0491, problem 6003 (CANT_ON_NON_LEAF), data 0

      deleted 0 entries

I am drwaing a blank now when searching for anything relevant on 'Non-leaf'

My questions are:

1.  Is there any way I can recreate the Terminal Server Computer Object with the issue I have outstanding?
2.  Should I be deleting the orphaned object anyway? if so, how do I do it?

Regards
Paul
