That is good information and something I did not know about before - but I am looking to actually populate DL's with recipients based upon a LDAP query instead of having a user send an LDAP query to send to. Here is what I found:
Dynamic Distribution List ------------------------- A collection of recipients to whom users can send mail by submitting a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query. For example, you can send e-mail to all of the users in the sales department by using a directory expression, without physically creating a list that contains the users. Dynamic distribution lists are a feature of the transport in Exchange 2000. Note that there is no user interface to define dynamic distribution lists in Exchange 2000; you must create dynamic distribution lists programmatically by using an interface such as Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI). -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Mynhier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 1:30 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: RBDL/Auto DL population based upon directory properties (in E 2K) The code to handle the Dynamic Distribution Lists that you want was actually partially implemented in E2k. RTM and SP1 E2k could handle DDLs, although there isn't a GUI to do it. SP2 broke the partial implementation, however, SP3 will fully implement the code to handle DDLs. (DDLs are Distribution Lists based on an LDAP query) Stephen -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 9:46 AM Posted To: Exchange Discussion List Conversation: RBDL/Auto DL population based upon directory properties (in E 2K) Subject: RE: RBDL/Auto DL population based upon directory properties (in E 2K) Nothing in Exchange currently to do this natively. There is a DL management tool in the E2K resource kit, but it's not particularly RBDL like. I believe at the moment 3rd party tools are your only option. In the Web Links | Server | Directory Management section of www.mail-resources.com I believe there are at least 2 DL tools which work with E2K. > -----Original Message----- > From: Moore, David K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 10:49 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RBDL/Auto DL population based upon directory > properties (in E2K) > > > We have been using RBDL (www.exchangecode.com and in the 5.5 > RSK) to populate membership in Distribution Lists on 5.5 for > some time and have been very happy with the process.
