Deleted accounts in AD still exist in DL

[.d0t]

Hi there,

i have a Distribution List with users as members. Some user accounts have
been deleted, but when an e-mail is sent to the DL, we receive NDR's for the
deleted accounts. the deleted accounts do not appear in the membership
list.

Any suggestions on how to remove these from the DL?

thanks in advance

Do the delete accounts show up using the Active Directory command-line tools,
tip 6820 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com?

@echo off
for /f "Tokens=*" %%g in ('dsquery group domainroot -name *') do (
for /f "Tokens=*" %%d in ('dsget group %%g -secgrp') do (
if /i "%%d" EQU "no " for /f "Tokens=*" %%m in ('dsget group %%g
-members') do (
for /f "Tokens=*" %%u in ('dsget user %%m -dn') do (
set dist=%%g&set user=%%m&set stat=%%u&call :find
)
)
)
)
goto :EOF
:find
if /i "%stat:~0,12%" EQU "dsget failed" @echo %dist% %user%
