You can still use a wildcard where the beginning of
the value is known,
e.g.
(&(|(objectclass=contact)(objectclass=group))(|(legacyExchangeDN=/o=MyCo/ou=MyOU/*)(legacyExchangeDN=ADCDisabledMail*)(isDeleted=TRUE)))
I
think this is where the indexing would help.

You will have a little DIT growth, creation of new mailboxes might
be
impacted a little in terms of speed as insertion of the attribute might be
a
trifle slower (nothing you would notice I expect unless doing a ton of
new
creations quickly with MT C code and still you could blame it on the
RUS
faster than blaming it on the indexing).
Anything that searched on
that attribute would possibly be more efficient or
be quicker.
You
still won't be able to do wildcard searches because it is a
DN
attribute.
What are you looking to get out of it? Or to put it
another way, why do you
think you should do it?
Overall in the end, MS
and pretty much anyone is going to say you need to
test it in your test lab
with a comparable test data set as production to
really know specifically
what it will do.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Indexing an
attribute
Hi all,
Does anyone know the potential
impact of indexing an attribute in Active
Directory? The attribute is
HomeMDB, it's Single Valued and is a member of
the PAS (We have approx 17,000
Mail Enabled User objects in
Active
Directory).
Cheers,
Matty
