Resend... Couple of things... 1. Listen to Brian 2. The RUS is what builds those lists and isn't really doing LDAP queries to build them. Turn up logging and turn on netmon and watch what happens as they go through the objects, it is rather startling to watch. 3. You can not set search bases because queries aren't being used. The objects being compared are coming from the config container and all over the default container. Again, watch the logging and netmon. Very simple to see what is happening when watching it. You will note thought that when you test the "query" in the ESM, it will actually do an LDAP query against AD, again, look at netmon. 4. You have to have some attribute (or group of attributes) that you can key on that will uniquely "place" that object in an AL. joe

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I figure that there HAS to be a way. :-P (Hope springs eternal...) _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 8:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Simple LDAP Query You can't do that with exchg. Get a security group with everybody in the OU, and search for (memberOf=DNToGroup). I know it's a pain - I do it. If the OUs are constantly going to change, write an agent to crawl them every night and update the groups. --Brian Desmond -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

I need a query that I can, specifically, place into an "All Address Lists" object in Exchange System Manager. So effectively I'm limited to a search base of the domain. But thanks for your response. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ulf B. Simon-Weidner Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 6:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: [ActiveDir] Simple LDAP Query Hi Michael, just define it in the search base, e.g. LDAP://ou=myou,dc=mydomain,dc=com. You define usually searchbase, filter, attribues and scope - and searchbase does not need to be the domain, it can be any LDAP Path. HTH, Ulf _____ Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Michael B. Smith Gesendet: Dienstag, 4. Mai 2004 23:38 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: [ActiveDir] Simple LDAP Query I'm obviously missing something simple... How do I construct a query to return all the objects in a particular OU? (To be specific, I want to return everything in an OU that is mail-enabled -- but I can do the rest given the syntax to search only a particular OU.) Thanks
