Hi All,

I have a senario i've been tasked with that i'm trying to find the best approach to.

We're looking to replace some of our Distribution Groups with Dynamic Distribution Group. What i'm trying to accomplish to to target an OU, then filter out Disabled Users, and all users with the AD Description 'TEMP'

I've tried the following in setting up the filtering with no luck, not sure on how to handle disabled users:

New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name TestDDG -RecipientFilter ((Alias -ne $null) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Description -like 'TEMP')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'MailboxPlan')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'DiscoveryMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'PublicFolderMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'ArbitrationMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'AuditLogMailbox')))

Any advice on how to best approach this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,

From your description, you need to filter the users haven't been disabled. You can use the RecipientFilter like this:

-RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') ... -and -not(UserAccountControl -like 'AccountDisabled'))}

Hope this can be helpful to you.
