If I remember correctly, you can't do a "starts with" type search if the syntax of the attribute you're searching is "Distinguished Name". The reason for this is that the attributes value is not represented as simply the text of the Distinguished Name, but rather a link to the actual object in the directory. The ldap attribute in question here is homeMDB, and it has the syntax of Distinguished Name, hence the problem.
You can look at all of the attribute syntaxes by registering schmmgmt.dll and adding "Active Directory Schema" to an MMC -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Baker, Jennifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 6:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using ADUC: How to list all users in a specific database? "Start with" doesn't work in this situation, but "is exactly" with the full path does: CN=Mailbox Store (SERVERNAME),CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=SERVERNAME,CN=Servers,CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=ORGNAME,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=com You could also create a temporary address list in ESM, preview the list and run the move mailbox task through that gui instead. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Moore, David K Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 1:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Using ADUC: How to list all users in a specific database? I am attempting to generate a search result in Active Directory Users and Computers that only lists users in a specific database - I need to move all those specific users to new databases and I really don't want to write down all the names and move them manually. So, here is what I've done already: - No, can't simply navigate down to the servers' database object and list of users then right click and move - no such option on the context menu. - Tried every combination of "Exchange Mailbox Store" in the search feature of ADUC - wouldn't you think it would be "CN=databasename,CN=storagegroupname" with the "starts with" search option? Help! Any ADUC guru's out there?
