Thanks.... That was pretty much what I was thinking. &nbsp;I was told you should be able to do it but I was skeptical. &nbsp;

Hello:<br />
We have an externally hosted Email Security system from Postini for Anti-Spam which allows us to push up configuration information from our AD. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I want the initial search to be done at the Root Level of the AD tree but only want results from &nbsp;a sub-OU.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to craft an LDAP query to do this?<br />
I.E. &nbsp;When looking at the attached ADSearch.png screen shot:<br />
Search Base = OU=AD-ROOT<br />
BUT only show users and email addresses from OU=AD-NYC<br />

Hello:
We have an externally hosted Email Security system from Postini for Anti-Spam which allows us to push up configuration information from our AD.  

I want the initial search to be done at the Root Level of the AD tree but only want results from  a sub-OU.

Is there any way to craft an LDAP query to do this?

LDAP Query for specific OU

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
