Hello All!

Out company maintains an Exchange 2003 SP1 server and we have serveral
security groups matching departments names .  I would like to setup internal
email distribution lists to be dynamic using Query-based. 
I have tried to setup this serveral times however the queries never return
any of the criteria I ask for.  For example:
Security Group = Accounting
Start QBDG wizrd and choose custom> Custom Filter> Cutomize>Find
Users>Advanced> Field = "members" Condition = Is Value =Accounting then Find
Now, nothing returns and I know there are members of the Accoutning group.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA!

You're using the wrong attribute - look for memberOf attribute =
distinguishedName of the Accounting group.

I appreciate the response however, I am still unsuccessful with the LDAP
query.  Here is more information-

Global/Security Group - Accounting (5 members)

Going through the QBDG wizard here is what I'm inputing:
Name/Alias - Accounting
Apply Filter to recieptients in and below: DOMAIN.loc/
Filter: (Customized)
     Find: Exchange Recipients In: Entire Domain
TABS-
     General: "Users with Exchange mailbox" checked
     Storage: "Mailboxes on any server"
     Advanced:
          Field: User > Member of...
          Condition: Is (Exactly)...
          Value: Accounting
Find Now - Returns nothing

This and the previous way I queried failed to return anything.  Any ideas?

TIA!
