Hi,
We have a win2k forest containing two domains, each domain has an Exchange 2000 server. I have created GAL for each domain and address lists specifically for each domain.
This all works well. We use permissions on the lists to grant accessto the appropriate domain and filters to create the lists.
Because the acutal servers are connected via a fast link, they are part of the same admin and routing group so no custom connectors are needed to connect the two servers.
The problem is the GAL. Because it contains contacts, groups and users… a filter doesn’t work properly. The GAL for one domain contains the dist groups from the other domain.
The filter uses the Notes field to see which domain a user belongs to and only addsthose users from the proper domain to the GAL. But if I add another criteria filter so that only dist groups from the proper domain are added, no records are found.
I know this is because the criteria uses an AND rather than an OR statement whenfurfilling the LDAP query. Of course, user notes AND Group notes = value will always produce no records…
My questions…
1. can anyone tell what the actual LDAP query should be so that it changes an AND query to an OR query (where User Notes field = value OR Group Notes field = value…)
2. Is there someother way… so that the GAL contains only objects from the proper domain…
Have tried to create the LDAP query myself but (as I am sure most can sympathise with) I am running out of time and cant afford to sit down and learn LDAP querying at the moment. And then there is the limit (just over 200 char’s i think)to the number of char’s an LDAP query in Exchange find box can have…
Help!!!
Thanks
