I think he’s referring to the DACL.  The objects that represent the Exchange Store objects in AD require some fancy SD flag to see them (Exchange Read or something like that?).  Otherwise, they are not visible, even to Domain Admins.  I have no idea why these need to be hidden, but that’s what it is.

 

Another thing to be wary of is if you have lots of users on a store, your backlink attribute value may actually be quite large and you may need to use range retrieval to get all the values.  Normally, this only ever happens with group membership, but in our environment we need to take this into account.

 

I agree overall that building some kind of a map of who is on what store is best done by scrubbing these objects and using the BLs though.  Our super load-balanced automatic Exchange provisioning system uses this technique under the hood to build its underlying data model.  Works great!

OK, so is there a reason that I'm missing as to why we can't use the BL'd attribute?
