Thanks,  we ended taking your second suggestion.<br><br>When we tried to create the parent objects, we were given an error that they already existed. when we tried to query,modify or delete them it returned an error that the did not exist.  (bizarre) <br>
<br>The exported LDIF&#39;s did not contain any of these branches, and we were recover OK.<br><br>--DS<br>
