Article - Discussing cleaning up AD for Exchange 2010

Ehlo All,

If you plan to upgrade to Exchange 2010 from 2007, read this good article by Exchange MVP Brien Posey to learn how to clean up your Active Directory during the upgrade process.

I'm planning an Exchange 2010 deployment for a client in January, but it's a clean install with no pre-existing Exchange, so I won't need this, but for my own upgrade from 2007 to 2010, this would come in handy.
