Active Directory Dynamic Distribution Groups
Hi,
I have a requirement to create distribution groups based on the reporting to field in AD.
Is there a query based DG to add all the users reporting to one manager to a group.
Thanks,
GFC

I'd use the manager attribute and create a group based on that.
The opposite directReports attribute shows all the reports a user (manager) has.
The direct solution using the AD manager attribute works with
- PowerShell
- FirstWare DynamicGroup (3rd party)
Second solution lets you select any available AD attribute and build a query with it.
You can LDAP type it or use the drag n drop query builder. Update intervalls can be set to your needs.
Here's a screenshot for creating a group based on the manager attribute set to "brian.miller"
