Devon, Actually, this could have been done using the X500 Distinguished name property. However, Windows server 2000 has a known bug, which prevents this type of LDAP query from working correctly. You can do as Al suggested, by using a "seeded" attribute. Every user object in AD has 10 Custom attributes, which are available for you to use for whatever purpose you want to. So, you can use one of the custom attributes to identify these user objects in the OU. Just add a value to one of this attribute, say Custom extensionAttribute1, and use a value such as your OU name. You an access these extensionAttributes, by enabling the advanced view in the Active directory users and computers tool, and looking at the users "Exchange Advanced" property, and click on the Custom Attributes button. You have to edit all user objects in the OU to add the same value to the same extension attribute. Or you can do this with a VBscript. Once you have all users object added with the new attribute value, create a new address list view, and select Advanced filter rules. In the "Fields" option select "User", and select the "custom attribute 1", under "Condition" select "Is Exactly" and type the value you used. Do a "find now", This will create list of users with the new attribute.

You can populate each member of the OU with a "seed" attribute that identifies them as a member you'd like to include however. If there is another way, it's likely going to be found in the hosting documents that Microsoft used to publish. Search the website to find out where they moved the docs to.

Also, create one that includes multiple servers.
