I have almost 450 QBDL's from Exchange 2003 that I need to convert to OPATH in Exchange 2010 SP1. Our Exchange 2003 mailbox server is currently turned off but 2003 hasn't been removed from the environment yet. I'm trying to follow these links: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/7c04b866-f83d-4b34-98ec-f944811dd48d http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc164375(EXCHG.80).aspx I have a sample QBDL named 'Woodlake Club 5045'. It's LDAP filter is "(|(objectCategory=group)(objectCategory=user))". [PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts>.\ConvertFrom-LdapFilter.ps1 "(|(objectCategory=group)(objectCategory=user))" ( ( ObjectCategory -like 'group' ) -or ( ObjectCategory -like 'user' ) ) When I try to set the new OPATH filter on that list, I get this error: [PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts>Set-AddressList "Woodlake Club 5045" -RecipientFilter " ( ( ObjectCategory -like 'group' ) -or ( ObjectCategory -like 'user' ) )" -forceupgrade The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Woodlake Club 5045' couldn't be found on 'fl2000-dc003.ced-concord. com'. + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Set-AddressList], ManagementObjectNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 7C5EDE54,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.SetAddressList This list does show up in the Distribution Group container in EMC. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, 1. Please turn on exchange 2003, then run the following command from exchange 2010 EMS: Get-AddressList 'Woodlake Club 5045' If no addresslist returns, please run Get-AddressList|fl, does it return all your 450 QBDL's ? If the 'Woodlake Club 5045' returns, please run the command to convert the LDAP to OPATH . .\ConvertFrom-LdapFilter (Get-AddressList 'Woodlake Club 5045' ).LdapRecipientFilter Then try to set new OPATH filter .

I turned the Exchange 2003 server back on. It is only seeing the default lists it appears... [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-AddressList 'Woodlake Club 5045' The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Woodlake Club 5045' couldn't be found on 'fl2000-dc002.ced-concord.com'. + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AddressList], ManagementObjectNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 461BDCFC,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.GetAddressList [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-AddressList Name DisplayName ---- ----------- All Users All Users All Groups All Groups All Contacts All Contacts Public Folders Public Folders Properties Properties All Rooms All Rooms test test

If I use the get-dynamicdistributiongroup command, then I see the lists. Changing the syntax to set-dynamicdistributiongroup -identity "Woodlake Club 5045" -RecipientFilter "( ( ObjectCategory -like 'group' ) -or ( ObjectCategory -like 'user' ) )" -forceupgrade seems to fix the problem for most of the DDG's, but there were still 122 DDG's which gave illegal syntax errors; It seems most of the errors are one of the two listed below. --- Invoke-Command : Cannot bind parameter 'RecipientFilter' to the target.

Hi, Please try the following command to update the filter for dynamic distribution group: get-recipient -RecipientType DynamicDistributionGroup |update-recipient

That command completed without errors. How can I confirm that all the legacy DDG's have been updated? How do I migrate the mailbox manager functionality as well as convert the filter for the other two policies?

How do I convert these filters to OPATH? --- (&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(homeMDB=*))(!(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(homeMDB=CN=Information Technology,CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=FL2000-EXCH002,CN=Servers,CN=orlando,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=ced-concord,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=ced-concord,DC=com)) )))) --- The second failing legacy filter is: --- (&(&(&(|(&(objectCategory=person)(objectSid=*)(!samAccountType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=3))(&(objectCategory=person)(!objectSid=*))(&(objectCategory=group)(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=14)))(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*))) )))(objectCategory=user)(!memberOf=CN=AHG Group,CN=recipients,CN=users,DC=ced-concord,DC=com))) --- How do I fix the invalid filter syntax generated by the script for the other 122 DDG's?

I fixed one of the former mailbox manager rules by creating a new retention tag, applying it to a new retention policy, and mapping that policy only to the mailbox in question. The second MM rule was for a public folder, not a mailbox. It doesn't appear you can apply a retention policy to a PF, what is/are the workaround(s)?
