I am setting up a few Dynamic Distribution lists and for the ones that
we are basing on Department, I have managed to get those to work using
the predefined condition 'Recipient is in a Department. The next
thing I was trying to do was setup Dynamic list for people that had
XYZ in their Office location in AD. I guess I was hoping that I could
set the Custom Attribute to physicalDeliveryOfficeName and use the
custom attribute condition to include the people where Custom
Attribute 1 equals XYZ.

You'll have to construct your own RecipientFilter in OPATH syntax. But
if the appropriate property is already populated, just use it. No need
to duplicate the data.

physicalDeliveryOfficeName == Office

Something like this:
RecipientFilter{ Office -like "XYZ" }

I'm not clear if the custom attributes are attributes exchange is not
predefining, like State, Dept, Company, or if they are custom AD
attributes or soemthing totally different.

"Custom Attributes" are AD properties. Their contents can be anything
you'd like them to be (with the limitation that the length of data
doesn't exceed the maximum allowed for the property). So, the "Custom
Attributes" are predefined, they just don't have a predefined use.

So if they are not indended to be used as I am using them above, does
anyone have any thoughts on if I can create a Dynamic Distribution
list and only select people with XYZ as their Office location?
