Hi, Trying to create a DDL that includes users based on the user's parent container which is: new-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "TEST ISSYSTEMS" -OrganizationalUnit "h2o.mydomain.com/Distribution Groups" -RecipientFilter {RecipientContainer -eq 'OU=ISSystems,DC=h2o,DC=mydomain,DC=com' -and RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox'} Command runs fine and the DDL is created. But when I preview the list, it is empty. Am I doing something wrong here? M

No help for this???

Are there user accounts in the 'OU=ISSystems,DC=h2o,DC=mydomain,DC=com' OU? It's filtering for users in this Org. Unit.

Yes there are. If I create the DDL using the -RecipientContainer parameter, it works properly. However, my ultimate goal is to create a DDL that includes users from more than one OU and thus cannot use -RecipientContainer to accomplish this. Any help is greatly appreciated. M

Take the "RecipientContainer" out of the Recipient Filter and use this parameter: -RecipientContainer 'OU=ISSystems,DC=h2o,DC=mydomain,DC=com' In fact, you should be able to remove the "-RecipientFilter" entirely and just use "-IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers". --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Create one DDL for each OU and add the DDLs to a "normal" distribution group. Hide the DDLs from the GAL. The OU is the base for the search. What you're trying to do is better accomplished by use a unique value in some property that's common to all the mailboxes you want to be included. No that property value will follow the mailbox wherever it's moved to in the AD. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
