Hello,

I am on Exchange 2010 ENT, Version: 14.03.0224.002. (SP3, RU8). A couple years ago, I created custom address lists and figured out a way (using PowerShell) to sort Outlook views of objects within these lists by what was set in their Custom1 attribute. Since then, I have lost my notes and can't remember how I did it. Can anyone get me pointed in the right direction?

Thanks,

Patrick

Are you asking about Exchange or Outlook?

Search for "Outlook Object Model Views" and "Powershell Outlook" and look in the repository for code examples on how to script Outlook.

Sorry for not being clear. I am asking about Exchange. Do you have any suggestions for me?

For your email account or for someone else account?

For everyone on my domain.

I managed to find my own solution trough the Exchange Management Console. If someone knows how to do this same thing via PS, please share. There wasn't the usual show script function on this wizard, or I would have shared it with you.

This assumes you already have objects in Exchange with a customized attribute:

1. Open Exchange Management Console

2. Expand Organization Configuration > Mailbox

3. Click the Address Lists tab

4. Click on New Address Lists from the Actions menu

5. Assign a name and click Next

6. Browse to the OU you wish to filter and click Next

7. Select the custom attribute that contains your custom condition i.e. Custom Attribute 1 equals Value and click the specified link in the box below

8. Type in your condition and click the Add button. Chick OK and Next.

9. Click Next and New

You really haven't explained what you are trying to do or why?

It appears that you want a custom address list and not an Outlook View as you originally stated.

PowerShell has CmdLet that are available in the Exchange Shell that will let you define "dynamic" address books which is what it looks like you are trying to do.
