You got your schema wrong...
 
(&
    (mailnickname=*)
    (|
        (&
 
(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(company=CompanyName)
        )
        (&
            (objectCategory=group)(displayName=*SuffixDisplayName)
        ) 
        (&
 
(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact)(displayName=PrefixxDisplayN
ame*)
        )
    )
)

Michael, 
 
Your input is working like a champ; however, i seem not to be able to
take your input and run with it.  I'm trying to get more complex and add
another set of objects in the query below to get users, groups and
contacts all back together.  I'm looking to see if you can identify my
struggles.  
 
Here is my query...
(&
    (mailnickname=*)
    (|
        (&
 
(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(company=CompanyName)
        )
        (&
            (objectCategory=group)(displayName=*SuffixDisplayName)
        ) 
        (&
            (objectCategory=contact)(displayName=PrefixxDisplayName*)
        )
    )
)

 

You can see that I just added another object type and criteria for that
object, but the result set does not come back with contacts included.  

I appreciate your time inadvance!   

Thanks, 
C

        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)
                )
            )
        )

        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
