Thanks very much, that has resolved it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using Powershell to create Dynamic Distribution Groups within Exchange and am having trouble getting it to work with the -like operator. Examples are below of what is working and what isn't working. &nbsp;TechNet suggests that StreetAddress is a string and therefore -like should work with it.<br />
<br />
There are good reasons why we aren't simply filtering on the Office attribute and are trying to use Street.<br />
<br />
Any help greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Working<br />
New-DynamicDistributionGro<wbr />up '# Glasgow' -OrganizationalUnit 'domain/Groups/Distributio<wbr />n Groups' -RecipientContainer 'domain/User Accounts' -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (StreetAddress -eq '12 High St Glasgow G1 4PT'))}<br />
<br />
Not Working<br />
New-DynamicDistributionGro<wbr />up '# Glasgow' -OrganizationalUnit 'domain/Groups/Distributio<wbr />n Groups' -RecipientContainer 'domain/User Accounts' -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (StreetAddress -like 'Glasgow'))}<br />
<br />
I would simply use the -eq option however one of our office addresses has two apostrophes in it which causes issues.
