Re: Advice on how to write an LDAP AD user query

That is different from what you asked for. It is much easier.

That query would look something like

(!(mail=*@myworksdomain.co.uk))

or if you wanted to make sure it was users who had a mail attribute but not one with the value you specified


(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(mail=*)(!(mail=*@myworksdomain.co.uk)))

that don't end with the SMTP email address @myworksdomain.co.uk.

You can't base an LDAP query dynamically upon what the object name is being
checked. You would need to dump all users with smtp addresses and compare the
username with the address.
