However, seeing joe's reply - go with his suggestion. He's got a better instinct for this stuff than I do. But, strangely he's not an Exchange whiz kid either.... funny, that.

I am awed by Exchange Guru's.... much like I'm sure that they are awed by us) I'd wonder if this could be written as such: Second line, with the Comma: /O=THE COLLEGE OF NORTH WEST LONDON/OU=MAIN/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=KENT\, VANESSA Which is specified in RFC 2253 - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2253.html) And, which presents and eample of such: CN=L. Eagle,O=Sue\, Grabbit and Runn,C=GB Dunno - I'm not messing with the Exchange systems today, else I'd try it out. Let me know if you make progress. Rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Rochford Sent: Monday, July 04, 2005 10:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] LegacyExchangeDN I'm trying to use Exmerge to backup the Exchange store (this is an extra to a "proper" store level backup so that we can retrieve odd messages for people who manage to delete them; I do know that it's not the best way to do the backup!). It all works well except for users with a comma in the LegacyExchangeDN - the mailboxes.txt file created by ExMerge has lines like: /O=THE COLLEGE OF NORTH WEST LONDON/OU=MAIN/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=1794 /O=THE COLLEGE OF NORTH WEST LONDON/OU=MAIN/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=KENT, VANESSA The first of these backs up OK; the second doesn't. I'm guessing that it's because of the comma. I could probably find some way of creating the file so that there were quotes round the whole line but I'd rather lose the comma. Is there anything which depends on the value of LegacyExchangeDN which might fall over if I change the values for some accounts (running Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003 but these accounts started life on Exchange 5.5/NT4) Steve List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
