ADU&C and ESM allow you to build fairly complex queries - by example. In
ADU&C, click "Action -> Find".
 
When I need an LDAP browser, I tend to use Softerra's LDAP Browser. It's
free.
 
Insofar as your specific query is concerned, I generally like to indent
things to show the program flow ('cuz a query is a program, albeit a
very limited one, of a sort). So something like this...
 
(&
    (mailnickname=*)
    (|
        (&
 
(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(company=CompanyName)
        )
        (&
            (objectCategory=group)(displayName=*SuffixDisplayName)
        )
    )
)

Subject: [exchangelist] Customizing an Address List


http://www.MSExchange.org/ 
Hello.  I'm new to the list.  Please excuse if this has already been
covered.  

I'm attempting to customize an Address List in Exchange2003 and am
having trouble creating the query I want.  

I want a query which has certain users (based on Company field in AD)
and certain groups (based on the last few characters of the displayName)
in the list.

Each of the above work individually and I get back the results
correctly.  I'm just not sure how to get the query to return both sets
of data, nor do I know if that is allowed. 

Here are the specifics: 

This is my user query: 
(&(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (|
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServe
rName=*))) )))(objectCategory=user)(company=CompanyName)))

it returns the right list of Exchange Users. 

This is my Group Query:
(&(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (| (objectCategory=group)
)))(objectCategory=group)(displayName=*SuffixDisplayName)))

I want the contents of my address list to be a combination of the above.
However, I'm struggling.  I've tried various combinations of the above
to get the right results back.  I've walked through the GUI, selecting
mailbox enabled users and groups and added (under advanced) the criteria
for users and for groups.  

I'm assuming the Anding and Or'ing of it all isn't working out.  The
samples I've seen on MSDN are exceedingly simple.  I'd like to find a
tool which allowed Query By Example functionality like MS Access
provides, except against and LDAP source, but haven't found something
like that. 


Any input is appreciated.  

Thanks,
C
