Search for User Exchange Attributes 1

[PU36]

How can search within AD for any user that has the OWA access enabled?

By default we disable it and enable it on request and now want to see who currently has access to OWA?

The protocol settings are stored in a multivalued AD attribute called (obviusly enough) protocolSettings, so use ADU&C to do a Query, select Custom Search in the Find box, and enter the following LDAP search criteria:

(objectcategory=user)(protocolSettings=*HTTP§1§1§*)

and all your OWA-enabled users will be listed for you (you can Add the Display name into the columns viewed to make sense of the list!).

To invert the search (ie find all users who have OWA disabled), change the first 1 to a 0, ie HTTP§0§1§

Incidentally you can use the same command for the other protocols, substitute the HTTP with POP3 or IMAP4.

That worked PERFECTLY!! Thank you so much. That saved me hours if not days to go through the list.

Glad it helped.

A little star for zbnet would show how much you care.
