Evan,

Your recent posts about AL/EAPs and the OPATH syntax in Exchange 2007 (Powershell) are great.

I am comfortable with the OPATH syntax for RecipientFilter, however I would like to have a list of all the attributes that I can use in an OPATH query. I can't find a list anywhere.

In particular, I want to create an AL which is based on the members of an AD group. This used to be easy with an LDAP query in Exchange 2003, but I can't work out how to do it in Exchange 2007.

Thanks,

David

David - we're working on putting together a formatted list of the attribute mappings. Should be out not too long in the future, I think.

What's the LDAP filter you used to use for this AL query in Exchange 2003?

I don't have the LDAP filter handy, but it just filters for mailbox users and if the MemberOf attribue has CN=groupname,OU=OUname,DC=blah,DC=com etc.

I've tried using RecipientFilter and assuming the attribute name is "MemberOf" but it doesn't seem to work.

David - unfortunately the MemberOf property is not exposed on the recipient objects nor is it filterable. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll have a look to see what can be done about this.

Hi Evand

Pls expose the memberOf prop so we can use it in recipient filters

David/Johan, et al - Whoops, I goofed! MemberOf *IS* exposed for use by recipient filter... it's just called MemberOfGroup instead.

[PS] D:\>$groupidentity = $(Get-DistributionGroup testgroup).Identity.DistinguishedName

[PS] D:\>$groupidentity

CN=testgroup,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com

[PS] D:\>Set-EmailAddressPolicy testpolicy -recipientfilter "memberofgroup -eq '$groupidentity'"

[PS] D:\>Get-EmailAddressPolicy testpolicy

Name Priority RecipientFilter

---- -------- ---------------

testpolicy 1 MemberOfGroup -eq 'domain.com/Users/testgroup'

Using MemberOf with -RecipientFilter
