Thanks much for including memberOf attribute in OPATH filters - this will take care of a lot folks who do use group memberships to apply policies.

Cheers!

Another handy tip!

Can't wait for that list of filterable properties - but will it also list the search methods for those (e.g. some don't allow a wildcard search).

Evan, thanks for this information. I've been waiting anxiously to see if Address Lists can be based on AD group membership and it's great to see that they can.

Having seen it in action now, I do have one query. When are the address lists "generated"? I can force them to "Apply" manually at any time obviously - but how is this taken care of automatically?

I've only just added some address lists based on the MemberOf attribute, but since changing a few users from one group to another the address lists are not changing based on the new group membership (not yet anyway). If I force an "Apply", they work fine.

Will this ever happen automatically? I haven't left it for hours so maybe it will. If so what service is doing it, and what schedule does it run on?

If they aren't updated automatically, does that mean every address list doesn't automatically update, regardless of the filter it is based on?

After several hours with Microsoft support, this does not appear to be supported or possible. In our Exchange 2007 environment, everything appears to be setup correctly, but the Email Policies never actually get applied to our users. Looks like we have to use Custom Attributes or some other solution instead of group memberships.

Maybe Microsoft can correct this in future service packs, but as of right now, even Microsoft Support could not get it to work.

Ryan - sorry you had this experience of struggling with MemberOfGroup and EAP! Although this filtering works fine with DDG and GAL/AL, it's true that using MemberOf filters with Email Address Policies does not work in all cases with Exchange 2007 RTM. This is a bug that will be fixed in SP1. Sorry for the hassle!
