Outlook discovers old server instead of Office 365 (Exchange Online) server

I deleted my old server with my Exchange server – I did not uninstall Exchange first, so I'm afraid that some stuff still floating around about my old exchange server.

We've moved to Exchange Online (Office 365), but when a client of mine tries to set up Outlook, it discovers my old server which doesn't exists anymore.

In ADSI I've deleted…

CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL
CN=Services
-> CN=Microsoft Exchange
-> CN=Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover

And…

CN=Default naming context,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL
-> CN=Microsoft Exchange Security Groups

I'm not able to delete…

CN=Microsoft Exchange Security Objects

It gives me this error:

I've tried Google it, but has found a solution.

I've also deleted all DNS records of the server.

Questions:

  1. How can I delete the Exchange Security Group?
  2. How can make sure, my old Exchange server isn't discovered?

Thanks

Give your account Full Control of the group, and possibly even the parent OU.
