Searching using Custom Attributes in AD
Hi
We are running Exchange 2007/ 2010 and AD 2003.
On our mailboxes and Distribution Groups, we use Custom Attributes to mark which Cost Center the object belongs to for billing purposes. For the sake of this example, the extension attribute 1 marks the Cost Center (Marketing, Corporate, etc).
I need to pull:
1. A list of all mailboxes belonging to Marketing
2. A list of all Distribution Lists belonging to Marketing
3. A list of all mailboxes with the name SMITH belonging to Marketing
4. A list of all DL's containing the word CORPORATE that belong to Marketing
Does anyone know how I can do this, using either the Exchange Management Shell or Quest Powershell?

Here's your starting point.... being able to mass export mailboxes.

Once you have the right command you will be able to insert your filtering string to get the required result.
This should help with your distribution lists

Thanks both...really I'm looking for a way to search for custom attributes using Quest?
neil4933, you can use the -LDAPFILTER switch with the quest tools.
get-qaduser -LDAPFILTER "(extensionattribute1=VALU
get-qadgroup -LDAPFILTER "(extensionattribute1=VALU
get-qaduser -LDAPFILTER "(extensionattribute1=VALU
get-qadgroup -LDAPFILTER "(extensionattribute1=VALU
