Hi Jason, > You could do the queries from any workstation so perl doesn't need to be > on the server. I have my linux box doing queries against my Exchange 5.5 > box so I can check Thanks! very useful. That also leads me to another LDAP question (which I posted as few days ago). How do you prevent "everybody" from running LDAP queries on your server? For example, I have multiple domain names on my exchange server, each one being a separate, independent company. It seems all I need is a valid user account on my exchange server (like any of the users) and I can run LDAP queries to list out the entire user names and email addresses etc. There has to be a way to prevent that! I just did that with SmartR and it's scary. PS: Please excuse my ignorance on LDAP, I am still learning :-) best regards Mike
