Hi, Is there a tool that lists the mailing lists and their members also the owner? Regards,Taz

Hi,One option is that you can use ADO with VBScript http://www.rlmueller.net/ADOSearchTips.htmNitin Gupta (gupnit) | MVP - Exchange | http://www.nitingupta.in/blogs

Hi Taz, There is no such a tool in Exchange. You could use LDIFDE to export data from Active Directory. Please refer to the following KB articles: Using LDIFDE to import and export directory objects to Active Directory http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/237677 LDIFDE - Export / Import data from Active Directory http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555634 The command should be like: ldifde -f export.ldf -s servername -d "dc=XXXX,dc=com" -p subtree -r" (&objectcategory=group)(mail=*))" l "cn,mail,member,managedby" If you have any further question about this, since its an AD issue rather than Exchange. I suggest you write a post on our AD forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/threads Thanks, Elvis

Hi,On the ADO page I found the following that might be what I need:To return all distribution groups:"(&(objectCategory=group)" _ & "(!groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2147483648))"But how do I actually use this? Can you tell me step-by-step how to use this to extract the info I need? And do I just use the command line on the server or something else to make this run?Sorry I am new to this sort of thing.Thanks,Taz

Hi,When I trythis in the command promptit says:'ldifde' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.Any ideas?Taz

Hi Taz,The file "ldifde.exe" should be located in the \windows\system32 folder, please copy the file from other Windows 2003 computer. Then you could use the command. As I mentioned before, since it's an Active Directory issue, if you have further question regarding the query against AD, I suggest you write post on our Windows Server forum. Thanks,Elvis
