I received an email today from someone trying to pipe data from AdFind to ExchMbx. While ExchMbx is getting a little long in the tooth and PowerShell was supposed to have killed it by now since everything is Exchange is supposed to be done via PowerShell now, seems some people are still using it.
Anyway, the issue was a relatively simple one. ExchMbx can accept a quoted DN list via STDIN for input if you want to send it a large quantity of DNs at once. To send that list of DNs via AdFind, you want to use the –dsq option. The –dn option, the –adcsv option, nor the –csv options will not work for this purpose.
However, if you want to get fancy and send in the DNs from a group’s member attribute, you can use something like
adfind –default –f name=groupname member –qlist exchmbx blah blah
which will give you a quoted DN list that is composed of the membership if the group.
