Email Address Policy and Address List Filter Upgrades

This is a page to store any custom LDAP filters and their equivalent Exchange 2007 OPATH Powershell filters for EAP or AL. While there are nearly infinite possible filters you might have in LDAP, there are probably a couple of primary themes that might help others with their LDAP->OPATH conversions. Please feel free to post your examples on this page. Here's the technet reference of Exchange 2007 RTM Filterable Properties.

Users in a specific AG + all groups that start with a particular string:

LDAP:

(&(&(|(&(&(objectCategory=user)(msExchHomeServerName=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=*)))(&(|(objectCategory=group)(objectCategory=msExchDynamicDistributionList))(displayname=IT*)))))

OPATH:

(ServerLegacyDN -like "/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=*" ) -or ( ( RecipientType -eq "MailEnabledUniversalDistributionGroup" –or RecipientType -eq "MailEnabledUniversalSecurityGroup" -or RecipientType -eq "MailEnabledNonUniversalGroup" -or RecipientType -eq "DynamicDL") -and ( DisplayName -like "IT*" ) )

For examples see the New-EmailAddressPolicy page.

I'm missing something. Could you tell me the command to enter before the -RecipientFilter.

Could someone please convert this Exchange 2003 Custom Address list so I can use the powershell command to convert it to Exchange 2007. I'm pulling my hair out..

thanks in advance

(&(&(&(& (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)(mail=*@mydomain.com)))

You actually can avoid typing most of this when turning the LDAP filter into OPATH. The filter is basically looking for objects with the department attribute defined as "Contrack". This can be defined in OPATH as follows:

-RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -like "*") -and (department -eq "Contrack"))}
