Fern,

Make sure you change the memberof= value to the (full) distinguishedName of
the group you want to use, this includes the container (OU=) and domain
componenents (DC=).

In this example the domain name is MyDomain.Corp and the group "MyGroupName"
is in the "SomeOU" org. unit.

(&(mailNickName=*)(memberOf=CN=MyGroupName,OU=SomeOU,DC=MyDomain,DC=Corp))

You can view/copy the dist.name of the group if you use ADSiEdit.msc find
the group, select properties and select the field "distinguishedName". Copy
the name, but make VERY sure you don't change anything there. (adsiedit gives
you direct, uncontrolled access to the AD database).

Keep in mind that if you move or rename the group, you will need to change
the query too.

Regards,
Jeroen

Thanks .. using adsiedit I noticed where I went wrong. Question... the LDAP results were accurate, but I decided to add a user into that group and check if within my outlook the user is now in that list and he was not. My outlook is not in cached mode, just wondering how long it would take for the list to be updated..

thanks Jeroen, I'm sure if I just get the syntax right Ill get the results

Unfortunetly I have not been successful with the above.

Im trying to have all members of the global security group "g_helpdesk" get
outputed.
