QUESTION POSED ON: 03 May 2006
I have an Active Directory with Microsoft Exchange mail servers. I need to search Active Directory to find out who currently has the altrecipient field filled out. Is there a way to do this without writing a script?

>
Since Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 rely on Active Directory, technically what you're asking is how to query Active Directory for the altrecipient field. The best non-script method that comes to my mind is to use the CSVDE tool. Have a look at Microsoft's article entitled "Import or export directory objects using CSVDE" for more information on how to use CSVDE.
