I am trying to create a new dynamic distribution group with the following command let: New-DynamicDistributionGroup -name 'test list' -Alias 'testlist' -DisplayName 'Test List' -ConditionalCustomAttribute 'PRC' - RecpientFilter {Title -ne 'Director'} This command completes successfully if I omit the -Conditional Custom Attribute; however I need to be able to assign this at the time of creation so that the appropriate Recipient Policy is applied. Any ideas? The Error that I get is: New-DynamicDistrabution Group : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters. At line:1 char:29 + New-DynamicDistrabutionGroup <<<< -name 'test list' -Alias 'testlist' -DisplayName 'Test List' -ConditionaCustomAttribute15 'PRC' -RecpientFilter {Title -ne 'Director'} Any help is appreciated.GaryO

In your example error the "ConditionalCustomAttribute" parameter is mispelled. I'm not sure if that might be the problem or maybe just a typo when recreating the error. Let me know if this helps. Michael

You spelled New-DynamicDistibutionGroupincorrectly. There's no 'a' in 'distribution'.And, assuming you haven't made multiple typographical errors in thisposting, you also misspelled '-ConditionalCustomAttribute15' byleaving out the letter 'l'.---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

The typo's above are my poor attempt at recreating the command. When inputting I tabbed it out so that it would spell it correctly for me.

You also misspelled "-RecipientFilter" as "-RecpientFilter". That anawful lot lot typos. If you're looking for help, try being a littlemore careful next time.Here's your answer (from the 'help' for theNew-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet): -RecipientFilter recipients that are used to build the dynamic distribution group.=> RecipientFilter cannot be used if any of the following parameters are specified: * IncludedRecipients * ConditionalCompany=> * ConditionalCustomAttribute N (where N is a value from 1 through 15) * ConditionalDepartment * ConditionalStateOrProvince RecipientFilter uses OPath syntax to query Active Directory and filter recipients. For more information about the filterable properties, see Filterable Properties for the -RecipientFilter parameter.To use a custom attribute AND another property in the selectioncriteria you'll have to use the "-RecipientFilter" property alone andinclude the necessary OPATH constructions.Oh, and don't forget the "-RecipientContainer" parameter, either. Ifyou're not specific about the starting point for your seach youprobably won't get the results you expect. Try to spell it correctly.:-)---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
