Title: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] Another Odd OT Question - Exchange DL based but still has an AD portion...

Can you give us some insight in to the problem and what you know so far? Versions of Exchange and AD are also of interest….

Seems like you're on the right track. With the message ID and tracking logs, you can back out all of the mailboxes that got the message. But you already knew that, and probably have let loose a perl script on the logs. I suppose there may be a way to get a message into a mailbox without having events logged in the tracking logs, but I can't remember ever seeing that as long as logging was enabled.

I should have added....are you looking for thoughts on troubleshooting? Or just asking if anyone has seen this?

I say it because some of the DLs I'm on, people would find out they
didn't get the message. Such as a required form that they would not fill
out.

Did I call all 4000 people on one of these lists? No I didn't.
Short of having a script that watches every mailbox, I suspect no one on
this list can really answer that question.

How do you know it works just fine? What proactive checking is done to
verify it? Say 2 people didn't get the message and they didn't realize
there
was a message to not get...

The question is being posed because I am working with some folks who had
a
couple of people (that we know of) out of several thousand that got one
message posted to a DL but didn't get an important followup message. It
is
slowly being reduced to either the expansion is screwed on the Exchange
side
or on the AD side and my bet is Exchange side as I don't expect AD would
not
return all users in a group without throwing at least one error. We know
that it isn't a user issue because there is no evidence in the tracking
logs
of the message ever going to those people. Right now I am trying to get
a
comprehensive list of everyone who did get sent a message so it can be
compared to the DL itself to see if it was just these two people or
more.

I'm on several DLs that are thousands of users in size(some are multiple
times larger than MaxValRange), and it works just fine. (by thousands of
users in size, I'm talking about a single DL that is thousands of users,
not
nested DLs, as that is of course an entirely different test scenario
that
may not hit ranged retrieval)

Why do you ask? Is there a followup technical question? :)

Has anyone ever actually tested if Exchange properly delivers emails to
all
members of a large (many thousands of mail objects) Distribution List?
Specifically where the Exchange server has to expand a DL and use
attribute
ranging to get all members.
