UC 7 - unable to delete distribution list

I've got this distribution list migrated over, which do not have any members, but am unable to delete it, and getting error this object is currently in use.
I enabled dependency records but unable to see anywhere I can access this functionality. How do I go about this one? please help.

I suspect if there is a dependency on it then deleting the DL from the CLI is not going to work either - the SA is essentially doing the same operation and the stored proc is likely returning that error. You might get lucky and it's the SA doing a seperate/unnecessary check but I'm guessing that's not going to be the case and you'll see a similiar error in the CLI as you do in the SA.
Another approach is to see if you can find the dependency reference on the DL - it could be a bug (i.e. a bogus reference) or it could be a handler referencing it as a message recipient and/or a name lookup handler referencing it as a scope etc...
The easiest way to find references to an object is to use the CUDLI data viewer tool:
http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/CxN/CUDLI/CUDLI.html
Make sure to have it show all data instead of limiting to the top 100 rows as it does by default (a red flashing text will tell you this when you fire it up). Find the ObjectID of the DL you're trying to delete and then use the "Find value in db tables" option under the File Menu. Paste in the object ID and let it rip - it'll look in every column of every row of every table in the database looking for references to that objectId - if there's any in there, it'll take you to them. If there are valid references to the list keeping it from being deleted, you'll find them.

Error: Site columns which are included in content type cannot be deleted. Remove all the references to this site column prior to deleting this

Hello,
Is there any data in list? It seems there is content type in list, which is referring this column, that's why you are not able to delete it. Could you please verify. If column added in content type then delete column from content type.
Try this powershell to delete column:

Unable to manage Distribution list membership since moving from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010

Hi,
We have recently started migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. One of our customers used to be able to manage a security group through the outlook address book. This is a mail enabled security group where the customer is on
the "Managed by" entry and the "Manager can update membership list" is ticked.
Now that the users mailbox has been migrated to Exchange 2010, if they try and modify the membership using outlook by finding the group in the address book they get the error "changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. you do not have
sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object".
I have now added a test account to the managed by entry on the security group to test the problem.
I have followed the article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/11/18/3408844.aspx that explains how to use the EMS to give users the right to amend groups that users own. I did not run the script but entered the following commands:
New-ManagementRole -name “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test” -parent MyDistributionGroups
Remove-ManagementRoleEntry “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test\New-DistributionGroup” -confirm:$false
Remove-ManagementRoleEntry “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test\Remove-DistributionGroup” -confirm:$false
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -name “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test-Default Role Assignment Pol” -role “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test” -policy “Default Role Assignment Policy”
All appears to have worked ok and I have seen no errors while doing this
If I use OWA and then use the ECP, I can now see the "Public groups I own" but no groups are listed.
I have created some new distribution groups in Exchange 2010 (One dist list and one security group) to test and added the test account as an owner of both and a member of both. I still cannot amend the membership using outlook address book and the
ECP still shows no groups under "Public Groups I own"
I have seen a number of articles on how to do this and it looks like I am doing everything right and it has worked for plenty of other people. I just don't know what's going wrong.
I would be very grateful if anyone can help.
Matt

Hi Rajith,
I deleted the outlook profile and recreated it but this did not work.
I have now created a brand new mailbox on Exchange 2010 added this to the "managed by" section of the Exchange 2010 dist lists and I still get the error. I also do not see the groups listed when logging in as that user to OWA ECP and clicking on the
Groups link.
I had a look at the link you sent me and I could see that from the Exchange server when I opened the User roles to get to the ECP, clicked on Roles and Auditing and then User Roles the only policy applied is "Default role assignment". When I select
the details for this, under Distribution groups, "My Distribution Groups" is not ticked but my new one that I created "My DistributionGroupsManagement_Test" is. So this looks ok.
Any other ideas?
Matt

Unable to edit distribution list in address book?

Under address Book edit, the edit distribution list is greyed out. I have several groups that i need to correct the default email, but since I have upgraded to Lion, I have been unable to do this. These are not smart groups. I was able to do this with Snow Leopard but I cannot

And icloud has its own (issues) and Community.
There are support pages for every product, use the tab "Support"

The date and time sorted the problem. I had to rechange the date and time to THE FUTURE as all of them were logged as in July 2007 PM and then clear the list of calls. then on restart corrected the date and time again. many thanks. now i need to get it to begin logging calls again. thank you for your help

Distribution list, duplicate alias

I accidently deleted AD object for distribution list.
When I create distribution list from
"Chage group Settings" page and set "Create an e-mail distribution group for this group?" to yes, I get "The Directory Management Service reported the following error: Duplicate alias." I tried to delete distribution list from Central Administration -> Operations -> Approve/reject distribution groups, no luck either.
I tried stsadm refreshdms and got:
Error in application.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Young

Brij,
Thank you so much to take time to reply. Here is the result:
Please check if you have any groups listed under Central Administration > Operations > Approve/reject distribution groups when you select "Delete Requests" view. If yes, please delete them.
I tried this before I posted my question. I tested this and found two things:
1. A group doesn't get deleted if AD doesn't exactly match the data. Here is the situation. When I tried a distribution group called "IT group", unfortunately "IT group" contact email distribution existed. Of course, SharePoint gave me an error; somehow "IT group" appeared on Directory Management Service Approval List.
2. Even I delete a group and the group disappears, I get the same error. One group for this post, I created one and accidentally deleted AD side.
Do you have OU created for these contacts and distribution groups in AD (Active Directory)? if yes, please delete this group from OU and see if that helps.
No OU has been created for this group.
Also check OU for any contacts ( created for email enabled lists/libraries or for any other purpose) with the same name(alias), which you are assigning to a distribution group. This seems to be the strongest possibility of the error message you are receiving.
So far; no luck. Couldn't find any group with the same name in AD.
If I create and delete a group, it works perfectly on all sides. Still looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Young

Retrieval of Mail Id's present in Distribution lists which has got deleted!

Hi All,
We are facing a problem regarding the deletion of distribution lists (reason not known) and they were retrieved from the trash folder in SBWP (SAP Business Work Place - the SAP inbox). But there was no trace to go back and look who deleted it and what all distribution lists were deleted. We can retrieve only when something is there in the trash folder. If not in trash folder, then itu2019s gone forever and we cannot retrieve.
So we have implemented two OSS notes. Now we are able to get the details i.e. the name of the distribution list as well as who has deleted it.
Now we need to find the mail Idu2019s present in distribution lists which has got deleted.
We have done some analysis but not able to do this.
So can anybody provide needful information.
Regards,
Sagar.

I also face the same problem: distribution list got deleted(reason unknown), you mentioned that you implemented 2 OSS note, can you kindly let me know what are the 2 OSS notes implemented?

Something is deleting my distribution list in Production system

Hello masters:
I created a distribution list in order to send emails from a workflow item. It's working fine in dev and qas. However, something is deleting my distribution list in Production system.
And the worst is that my distribution list is deleted as soon as I create it again (well, it lasts a few days).
Does anybody knows what could be happening?
Thank you.

Probably the Distribution list is not getting created at all.
Also check whether there is any program that is deleting the distribution list.

Also check for Authorization when you are trying to display existing Distribution list.
Thanks

However, I also noticed getting this error when I was not logged in (yesterday). Not sure if it is harmful, but just to let you know.

[Not Just Me] Error: Unable to delete from online list.

I've just tonight started to get the following error when trying - sometimes - to load a forum page:
An error was encountered
Error: Unable to delete from online list.
I did update Firefox earlier (23.0.1) so I'm not sure if that might be related. Mostly it works fine but I have gotten this error now several times. I have also got a 504/gateway error once or twice.
Is anybody else seeing this? Or has any idea why I am?

I have the same problem, and other people have also posted about it. I assume that there is either a bug with the current version of iTunes and/or that there is a problem at Apple's end

Outlook 2010 Client - "unable to connect to retrieve additional data" for some Distribution lists

We have a mix of Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 clients in our organization.
Users with an outlook 2010 client are having issues with a number (not all) of our distribution lists.
Issues: When selecting a distribution list in the new message 'to' fiedl, a 'message tip' appears with the name of the DL and 'contains xx recipients'.
However, when attempting to expand the DL (selecting the + sign) the following prompt appears "Cannot perfrom the requested operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient. The operation failed"
When selecting the DL through the outlook address book the memberlist is empty and has a mail tip "unable to connect to retrieve additional data".
The DL's were all created in a 2003 environment.
We are currently setting up a 2010 environment, and all DL's were created prior to any schema updates etc.
Of note, users experience the issue, but access the list through OWA don't have the issue.

Please also perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus program on the problematic machine for a test.
2. Remove the Outlook profile completely and create a new profile.
3. Login on the same mailbox by Outlook 2010 on another machine to check the result.
If the issue persists, please open Event Viewer and check whether any error message exists. If so, please post it here for research.
Thanks.

Unable to Delete OLD (prior to 2009) Addresses from the Previous Recipients List using ANY Method

How do I delete OLD addresses in the "Previous Recipients List? I am unable to delete OLD addresses (last used years, 2007 & 2008) using the button "Remove From List" or clicking on the address when it is displayed in Mail & selecting "Remove from Previous Reciopients List."

Solved: When composing an email and beginning to type an email address, you are prompted with autofillins. There is a small x to the right of the name. If you wish to delete the autofillin, then click on the x and Yahoo will remove it from the options in the future.
