I have few Dynamic Distributions created by some one earlier, now i want to know like what attribute is set or what field is used to filter the recipents and added to the dynamic Distrbution Group in exchange 2007 . I checked while gng into the filter tab but not able to understand which filter is used to create that DDG Thanks

Hi, Use Exchange Management Shell (EMS) to get that information. Example: Get-DynamicDistributionGroup "Group Name" | fl Name,RecipientFilter,RecipientContainer,IncludedRecipients Martina Miskovic

Sometimes, it is possible that a ldap filter was used if the predefined conditions dont meet the requirements. If you see null for Recipient filter in above command, you could use the below attribute to find out any advanced filter that is used. Get-DynamicDistributionGroup <GroupName> | Select Ldaprecipientfilter

Hi, Seems to be it's a Ldap only because when i am running the cmd provided by Martina, Recipient filter in above command is null so when i ran the cmd provided by rajitha then got the below but in that how to know which attribute is used ? [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-DynamicDistributionGroup "Geo - Americas - US Scottsdale - Virtual Associates" | Select Ldaprecipientfilter |fl LdapRecipientFilter : (&(!cn=SystemMailbox{*})(&(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(homeMDB=*))(!(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact))(objectCategory=group)(objectCategory=publicFolder)(objectCategory=msExchDynamicDistributionList) )))(objectCategory=user)(physicalDeliveryOfficeName=Scottsdale Virtual)(!title=Temp - Agency)(!title=Contractor - Agency)(!title=Contractor - Non Employee)(memberOf=*)))) WARNING: Object abc.local/Distribution Lists/Query Based Distribution Groups/Geo - Americas - US Scottsdale - Virtual Associates has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have occurred:WARNING: "Geo - Americas - Scottsdale - Virtual Associates" is not valid for Alias. Valid values are: Strings formed with characters from a to z(uppercase or lowercase), digits from 0 to 9, !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } or ~. One or more periods may be embedded in an alias, but each one of them should be preceded and followed by at least one of the other characters. Unicode characters from U+00A1 to U+00FF are also valid in an alias, but they will be mapped to a best-fit US-ASCII string in the email address which is generated from such an alias.

Ok, so if no RecipientFilter was set that means that the group was created in an earlier version of Exchange. You really should fix the alias "Geo - Americas - Scottsdale - Virtual Associates". Exchange finds it corrupted because it has spaces in it. If I read the ldapfilter correctly, email will be sent to everybody in the Office Scottsdal Virtual but not if the recipient has any of the Titles "Temp - Agency","Contractor - Agency" or "Contractor - Non Employee" set.Martina Miskovic

The attributes that you may be concerned about are physicalDeliveryOfficeName - i think this is an ldap equivalent to Office in AD properties - So all users with "Scottsdale Virtual" in Office attribute and title - does not have Temp - Agency or Contractor - Agency or Contractor - Non Employee in the title field. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/thread/5560d355-d0bd-4a40-862c-ffd6adb79454 You can always use Preview button to get a sample of users and check against the conditions
