Following problem:

I have an exchange 5.5 organisation with 8 sites. Each site got 1 server (exchange 5.5 sp4 with nt4 server). Site IT had a server running with name IT-01. This server crashed (2 broken harddisks). Lucky for me I had an identical server running, and renamed this server to IT-01, reinstalled exchange 5.5, restored exchange db from tape, and got it working. Created a new x400 connection to the server in our HQ (on HQ site, I didn't change anything in X400 connection) and I created a new directory replicatior (on IT-01 and on HQ server). This all works, I can send mail to IT site and receive. Only problem is that all servers on -non- it sites got the old address book for site IT (from before crash). New mailboxes created on IT-01 are syncronised global address books on other sites, but modification in excisting not. For example, on all -non- IT servers, we have a distribution list "(it) all local users" but this dl only excisted on IT server before crash. On new server, it doesn't exist.

My question: how can I delete all names from the global address list from server IT before crash ? ("request now" on properties of directory replicator doesn't work)

Thanks
