After I installed a new domain and Exchange 2007 in it, for some reasons I had to uninstall Exchange 2007, and install it back. Old Exchange 2007 left 2 obsolete SIDs behind S-...-1111, and S-....-1113. These 2 SIDs are everywhere they have to be as Exchange SID Accounts (Groups) in Security Tab (example DNS, AD Site&Services..). I managed to remove most of them using ADSIEDIT, but I couldn't remove these 2 SIDs that are shown with admin acounts (Domain Admin, Enterprise Admin...), and few ordinary users in one of OU. Whenever I remove from this groups, after sometime they're back.

Any idea how can I remove these SIDs Accounts/Groups. I'm sure what they do represent, so there is not any danger of deleting them. I don't have any Domain Trust
 
Modify the permissions on the AdminSDHolder object in the "System" container in AD Users and Computers. Within 1 hour of modifying this object, all of the admin accounts will have their ACLs synchronized.

That's what I needed.
I was looking around in internet, and never found a solution.

Thanks a million.
