We have an AD at this particular Business Unit.
All other business units have other types of mail systems. We all submit our address books into a central 3rd party organisation who combine them and send out a list of addresses.
We then import these addresses into our AD as contacts so that our Exchange 2000 users have an up-to-date address book.
This causes more problems than it is worth, but it isd the designated process we have and nothing on earth will make the powers that be change this.
This leaves me with the problem that some addresses are duplicated as we have 4 sets of address books and some recipients addresses appear in both. As there are over 80000 names it is next to impossible to manually search through these imported names, hence the reason for the query.
Thanks
Julian

I guess I don't understand what your process does. AD and Exchange 2000 use
the same directory, so there shouldn't be any need to bulk syncronize
anything.
I can't help you with LDAP queries in plain English, since I don't know of a
practical implementation of an English language query tool for
LDAP(although that would be cool!).
I'd suggest seriously considering buying some of the books listed here:

view_subcat&sid=1
For your needs, I'd think that Thomas Eck's book would be best, although its
not completely geared towards LDAP queries. The Stein Borge book has some
good examples, but they're not as in depth as I think you'd want.
