Using -like operator to select recipients for Dynamic Distribution Group

Dear Scriptor,
I got few thousand of data and would like to select recipient according to the CustomAttribute1.
Below is the sample data in my database.
Name: User1, CustomAttribute1: aa, bb, cc
Name: User2, CustomAttribute1: aa, bb
Name: User3, CustomAttribute1: bb, cc, dd
If I run the script as below,
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -name "myDyna.bb" -RecipientFilter {(CustomAttribute1 -like 'aa*')}
The return result is User1 and User2
When I run the script as below,
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -name "myDyna.bb" -RecipientFilter {(CustomAttribute1 -like 'bb*')}
No result returned
How can I overcome this issue?
Thanks.

Below are my sample data in O365.

I would like to create a DynamicDistributionList where CustomAttibute1 contain "a2".
The expecting result are 77771111, 77772222 and 77774444.
How can I write the script?
I am using Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell. I run the $PSVersionTable.PSVersion and it returned me Major=4, Minor=0, Build=-1, and Revision=-1.
This works for you case:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -name "myDyna.bb" -RecipientFilter {CustomAttribute1 -like '*a2*'}
Do not use parens "()".
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Create Dynamic Distribution Groups Using Customized Filters

I am looking to create a new Dynamic Distribution List.
Example:
DL - United States Users ([email protected])
In AD we have the 'Office' field filled accordingly, which contains the attribute USCA___ or USIL (US,California,etc or US, Illinois,etc).
I was wanting to try creating these using this command/script;
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DL - United States Users" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Office -eq 'USCA*')(Office -eq 'USIL*')}
Assistance here please:
1. What needs to be added in that line so that only certain users can email to it, rejecting all others (i.e. The Helpdesk or Corporate Communications)
2. Is there a way to specify the SMTP address you want it to use?
3. Is there a way to have it only add mailboxes that are enabled in AD so disabled mailbox user accounts wont be added?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi,
We can use the following command to create a Dynamic distribution group:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DL - United States Users" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Office -like
'US, California' -or (Office -like 'US, Illinois')) -and (UserAccountControl -ne 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount')}
Then as what ED says, we can use the Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet with AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom or
AcceptMessagesOnlyFromDLMembers parameter to specify certain users who can send email messages to this dynamic distribution group. And use PrimarySMTPAddress parameter to specify the primary return SMTP email address for the distribution group.
Hope it helps.

Address List and RecipientFilter for dynamic distribution lists

Hi guys
I am trying to setup a Address List in exchange that contains dynamic distribution lists specified by the list name. So address List abc should contain dynamic distribution lists with list names "def" and "ghi" and "jkl"
So far I have come up with below which displays all dynamic distribution lists. this works but how can I now filter further to specific lists?
New-AddressList -Name abc -RecipientFilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and (ObjectClass -eq 'msexchdynamicdistributionlist'))}
Example of what I am trying to acheive:
New-AddressList -Name abc -RecipientFilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and ((ObjectClass -eq 'msexchdynamicdistributionlist') -and ('msexchdynamicdistributionlist' -eq 'def') -or ('msexchdynamicdistributionlist' -eq 'ghi') -or ('msexchdynamicdistributionlist' -eq
'jkl'))}

Hi,
I have some tests in my environment using Exchange 2013. You can use the following cmdlet to create an address list that contains specified distribution group members.
New-AddressList -Name test3 -RecipientFilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and (MemberOfGroup -eq 'CN=Sales,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com'))}
Note that it can't work for dynamic distribution group. In your case, I haven't found a parameter for dynamic distribution group in Exchange, your understanding will be appreciated.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

Using Like Operator For Parameter Fields

Hi All,
I have been figuring around this for few days, appreciated anyone know this could assit me
I have a report which having a mobile no parameter fields.
In my database, my mobile no was not a clean entry.
For eg, a standard mobile number from Malaysia was 60126143331.
1) 60 - indicate country code (MYS)
2) 12 - indicate mobile operator
3) 6143331 - indicate phone number
Usually, peoples will entry it as 6012-6143331 or 012-6143331 or 0126143331 or 60126143331. In my CR report, i have a static mobile no selection. Currently, my filter selection will be as below:
{pax.mobile_no} = {?p_mobileno}
any possible to change it to like? meaning to say, if user enter 012-6143331 it will know that this was 6012-6143331 and the records will be selected into the report.
Appreciated anyone know this could assits.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
CK

Hi,
tq for ur prompt reply.
D value in my database r not fix, some mobile no could b 7 digits some could b up to 12 digits. But I jz want user to enter mobile no in 10 digits only. Example, mobile no in db wa 60126661233. However, user input in parameter selection could only 0126661233 without 6. In some situation if mobile no in db was 6012-6661233, user input willb only 0126661233 n this input will b match with data in db using like operator.
I m wondering can this b archieve in cr?
Tq

Problem in JDBC , when using LIKE operator. - VERY URGENT

Problem in JDBC , when using LIKE operator.
LINE 1 : String temp = "AA";
LINE 2 : String query = "select * from emp where EMPNAME like '*temp*' ";
LINE 3 : Staement st = con.createStaement();
LINE 4 : ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
'*' character is not getting evaluated. In MS ACCESS2000 only * is accepted instead of '%'. Moreover in MS ACCESS the like operator has to be used within double quotes as a String. whereas in other databases, it accepts single quotes as a String.
Ex:
In MS ACCESS
     select * from emp where ename like "*aa*";
Other Databases
     select * from emp where ename like '%aa%';
In my situation iam passing a Variable inside a like operator and '*' is used.
For the above Scenario, Please help me out.
If possible Kindly let me know the exact Syntax.
Please give me the answer as LINE1,LINE2,LINE3,LINE4,
I have verified in JDBC Spec also, it has been specified to use escape sequence.that too did not work.
Due to this, My project is in hold for about 4 days. I could not find a suitable solution.
Please help me out.

I made a LIKE clause work with M$ Access, using PreparedStatement and the % wildcard:
            escapeStr                   = "%";
            String sql                  = "SELECT USERNAME, PASSWORD FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME LIKE ?";
            PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
            statement.setString(1, ("user" + escapeStr));
            ResultSet resultSet         = statement.executeQuery();
            while (resultSet.next())
                System.out.println("username: " + resultSet.getObject("USERNAME") + " password: " + resultSet.getObject("PASSWORD"));

How tio use like operator in textitem to get the name

Oracle forms6i
Hai All
I have created an form to create an hierarchy list. I that I had an Text_item how can i use like operator to get the name to select. which trigger i need to use. when i select the name i need to get his employee code and other details
Thanks In Advance

A is the head of Dept 10 and three person are under A namelyHow will you know that B, C and D are under A is there any parent child relationship between Leader and Employee code? If yes, Then you can create the relationship between blocks no need to set where_clause programatically. So, relationship can be like...
leader_block.emp_code = emp_block.leader_code
AND leader_blokc.dep_code = emp_block.dep_codeSo, when you will query data in LEADER block it will show employees which are under LEADER which you queried in LEADER block.
Or if there is no relationship then how will you know that which employee under which leader?
b 002 10 1
c 003 10 1
d 004 10 1
When i enter the name of head corresponding other members in the department will need to display in the
Tabular format Or if you want to query the records only for department relation. Then as you said you create two blocks then create create the relationship using dep_code between those blocks.
like...
leader.dep_code = emp_block.dep_code-Ammad

Get Result using LIKE operator

Hi All,
I am bit confused as to how to get this output using like operator :
select * from table1 where name like 'P&C%';
Here , since '&' is there , sql is prompting me to enter a value for C instead of giving output. I tried using escape but it is not working.
Can anybody tell me how to overcome this problem..?
Thanx.

Alright,
Here you go. In 'SQL Editor' in PL/SQL Developer:
Pulled this off the PL/SQL Developer Manual:
Escape character
If you wish to use an ampersand in the SQL text that should not be interpreted as a substitution variable,
use a double ampersand instead. The following example will retrieve all employees from the ‘R&D’
department:
select * from emp
where emp.deptno in (select dept.deptno from dept
where dname = 'R&&D')
order by empno desc
If the text 'R&D' had been used instead, you would have been prompted for the D variable.

MailTips for Dynamic Distribution Lists - wrong number of recipients

We use Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013. We have a Dynamic Distribution List ([email protected]) configured on Exchange. It contains 75 users, I confirmed it using below cmdlets in Exchange management shell
$all = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup [email protected]
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $all.recipientfilter
When I use Outlook to create a new email to [email protected] there is a MailTip displayed mention about 87 of recipients, it should be 75 users.
Settings on our Exchange servers are as below:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-OrganizationConfig | fl *mailtip*
MailTipsAllTipsEnabled : True
MailTipsExternalRecipientsTipsEnabled : False
MailTipsGroupMetricsEnabled : True
MailTipsLargeAudienceThreshold : 25
MailTipsMailboxSourcedTipsEnabled : True
Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

In Active Directory attributes for this group are as below
msExchGroupMemberCount =
87msExchGroupExternalMemberCount
= 0
Regarding
files under %ExchangeInstallPath%GroupMetrics there is only cookie file modified yesterday and
it contains as below:
DC=domain,DC=com;12/28/2014 13:11:15;05/14/2013 20:02:24
Just created new dynamic distribution group with the same filter as for group all (for test purpose). There is no MailTip for this new group now. Is it possible to force \ speed up group metrics generation?

Selection variant for cost element GROUPS

Community!
Is there a way to create a selection variant for cost element groups? Through customizing I can only create them for cost elements but not for groups!
Thanks,
Bjoern

Ashok,
thanks for your reply but I am looking for a way to create a variant for groups!!!!!
The help just depicts how to create variants for cost elements. You actually do have the feature to display all cost elements from <u>one</u> group within the collective processing but I would need to select many different groups, which is just not possible.
Therefore I would like to create a variant of cost element <b>groups</b>!!!!!

Edit existing Dynamic Distribution Group

I'm running Exchange 2007 RTM
I have an existing Dynamic Distribution Group "All Staff" - here's the filter taken from 'Properties'
(&(!cn=SystemMailbox{*})(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*))) )))))
My question is it possible to EDIT the group to exclude a user? If so how?

You can edit the dynamic distribution list in EMS and add to the recipient an exclusion based on a value of an attribute (for example a CustomAttribute).
first get your current recipient filter with
Get-DynamicDistributionGroup dl_dyn_test | fl recipientfilter
in this example the filter is set to include everything with a CustomAttribute11 value of "plop":
((((((((CustomAttribute11 -eq 'plop') -and (Alias -
ne $null))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*'
)))) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')))) -and (-not(
Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -lik
e 'CAS_{*')))
lets say we want to exclude the recipients with a CustomAttribute12 value "flop"; we would have to add "-and (-not(CustomAttribute12 -eq 'flop'))" to our filter, making it:
((((((((((((((CustomAttribute11 -eq 'plop') -an
d (-not(CustomAttribute12 -eq 'flop')))) -and (
Alias -ne $null))) -and (-not(Name -like 'Syste
mMailbox{*')))) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')
))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*'))))
-and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')))) -and (-not(
Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name
-like 'CAS_{*')))
We can write this back to our existing DynDL with the following command:
Get-DynamicDistributionGroup dl_dyn_test | Set-DynamicDistributionGroup -recipientfilter {<recipientfilter>}
!!! do not forget the "{}" around the filter value !!!
So our command becomes:
Get-DynamicDistributionGroup dl_dyn_test | Set-DynamicDistributionGroup -recipientfilter {((((((((CustomAttribute11 -eq 'plop') -and (-not(CustomAttribute12 -eq 'flop')) -and (Alias -ne $null))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')))) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')))}
After this executes you can use the previous command again to read the value of recipientFilter attribute and verify the change. You can check that the DynDL is working properly by clicking on the Preview button on the Filter tab in the DynDL properties
window in EMC, and verifyng that the excluded recipients are not present in the list.
