> Third, an X500 address would be unusual,... Not an everyday occurrence, I agree, but I see these pretty frequently with organizations that have migrated within Exchange 5.5 and then have migrated to Exchange 2000/2003 (or an ADC is in place). Typically, they are used to support replies to emails in situations where the sender's DN has changed.

Second, mail attribute is not going to have any type of address other than SMTP. Third, an X500 address would be unusual, do you mean X400 address? Every mailbox has an X400 address by default, that will be maintained in proxyAddresses and textEncodedOrAddress (same value in both). The only default X500 address in Exchange would be what is used for the legacyExchangeDN which is not maintained in proxyAddresses. The only time you would have an X500 in proxyAddresses is if you manually added it (say you modified the LEDN and wanted to keep the old one around for routing, permissions, etc). joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Benway Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 2:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Query for user AD info from web application Our internet web application use AD to pull user information. They start with the users email address and then look up other information. We've notice today that if a user has a X500 address our query doesn't work. Here's what the web developer sent me SELECT displayName FROM 'GC://DOMAIN.COM' WHERE objectCategory='organizationalPerson' AND ((mail = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]')) I don't know why a X500 address would mess this up, ideas?
