Hi,

I have a request from my boss but its a hard one. I dont know lDAP too well, but i think there is a way i can do this. Can anyone please please help me. I would greatly apriciate it.

Request
we need a list of all Exchange Distribution lists where there is one or more xyz employee(s) (someone with username@xyz.com as an e-mail address) that is a member of the list.

If this were a job given to me, I would use a query to dump all objects with email addresses to a text file and I would then just use "find" or "grep" on that file to get the information I wanted.

This would be easy on Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 with powershell, but not on Exchange 2003.

Here's a script I use to dump all email addresses on Exchange 2003. It dumps the addresses with good labels, so it will be easy to see the members of each distribution group.

Code: 
'Set up constant for deleting values from multivalued attribute memberOf

Const ADS_PROPERTY_NOT_FOUND  = &h8000500D

Thank you for your help. What fields do i need to change so it corresponds to the specific search options? or email address?
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
We have multiple domains and email addresses and i was asked to get only memebers that have xyz.com and are part of a D.L.

Example: Only D.L. that contain one or more users with xyz.com

Would this still work?

The results of the script above separates each type of mail object into different sections, so there is a section that is just distribution groups. Copy that section out of the results and paste it in a new text file. Then start hacking the file to remove the groups that don't have your target users in them. It won't take as long as you've already taken looking for a concise script for this.
