  if you mean after active diractory deleting?

  if yes , i think you will make a new installation and import the organization , in steps for import organization it will ask you to map users so you will make the old users in old AD to new users in new AD and it will take a time

  I should have mentioned that the complete crm installation (2003r2/spl2005/crm4) is sitting in a Virtual Server 2005r2. It is a development project that was supposedly stopped, now reactivated. I need to get the customizations out and then it can be tossed again. It seems we never exported the customizations out of crm as we never expected to need them again.

  We deleted the crm ad security groups from our development domain a few months ago (I think I can see some of them in the ad isDelete space). I thought that a reinstall of crm within the vm would recreate them, but I can only create a new crm instance. It needs existing ad entries to use the crm instance in the vm. I tried manually creating the security groups in ad as per TechNet article id 946286, but no joy.

  The only good news is that I can copy and break the vm as often as want until I resolve this problem.

  Thanks.

  I created a backup of the original database (mscrm_config and vq_mscrm), rebuilt a server from scratch with msdn/technet versions of 2004r2 enterprise, sql2005, crm4.0 with latest available service packs and updates. I was able to successfully browse on to the new crm installation. After backing up this new crm installation, I restored the two databases from my original database...and found the same error messages:

  The browser returns:

  I got it!

  I mean, I finally understand a perfectly good explanation:

  Using SQL Server Management Studio, restore the problem database (vq_MSCRM) to vq2_MSCRM,

  Use Deployment Manager.

  Select Import Organization and choose the newly restored db (vq2_MSCRM),

  Open the imported Organization in a browser (http://vq1/vq2) and voila! everything is there.

  The old database was at an older service pack level, which caused a warning but did not stop the import.

  Now I understand what the Deployment Manager is good for.

  Thank you wael_e for your time.
