Re: Exchange 2007-Dynamic Distribution Group - Custom Attribute

Bharat,

How then could this be applied to creating a new Address List; for install
all users in the Chicago Office?

And what is the best way to Upgrade or convert Exchange 2003 Address Lists
to Exchange 2007; the "ForceUpgrade command does not work!

Thanks,

Vincent

Groups can use the pre-canned filters available in the EMC or from the

- The pre-canned filters have a smaller set of attributes/properties that
can be used to filter.
- To use additional properties, you need to create the EAP/AL/DDG from the
shell and use the -RecipientFilter parameter to define a filter.
- The list of properties the -RecipientFilter parameter can use are listed
here:

- With commands like Get-Mailbox, you can filter the results on the
server-side using the -Filter parameter. The list of properties that you can
use with -Filter:

- The physicalDeliveryOfficeName LDAP attribute maps to the Office property.
It can be used in a filter (with both - the -RecipientFilter parameter and
the -Filter parameter).

- To create a DDG based on Office:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup "MyDDG" -RecipientContainer
"DC=MyDomain,DC=com" -RecipientFilter {Office -eq "San Francisco"}

- To filter results returned by a cmdlet like Get-Mailbox:
Get-Mailbox -filter {Office -eq "San Francisco"}

Hello all,

I may be missing the mark here, but have been toying with this for a
while and not making much progress. I will also preface this with I
am in no way an 'Exchange Person" so please be kind in the replies.

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.

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.

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?

Thanks,
Greg
