    Hi all -

     

    Any examples of these?  The UI doesn't make it really clear and the help seems to contradict what the actual wizard prompts for (i.e. LDAP filter in the wizard says 'required' but help says 'optional').

     

    I'm just struggling with the syntax for how to validate/check AD settings (such as TombstoneLifetime).

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry for the delay. I'm not a DCM expert (well, I'm not any kind of expert, but much less so with DCM). So it took a while to get a response from the experts. The answer was that the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 configuration packs posted on our download site (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/scp/configmgr07.aspx) do many AD queries. Here's one example that hopefully will help:

     

    <SimpleSetting LogicalName="Exchange_IMC_Bridgehead_Server_Manifest_Full_Run_cn_configurationNamingContext" DataType="String">

                                  <Annotation>

                                        <DisplayName Text="configurationNamingContext" />

                                        <Description Text="" />

                                  </Annotation>

                                  <ActiveDirectoryDiscoverySource Depth="Base">

                                        <LdapPrefix>LDAP://</LdapPrefix>

                                        <DnName>rootDSE</DnName>

                                        <Filter>(objectClass=*)</Filter>

                                        <Attribute>defaultNamingContext</Attribute>

                                  </ActiveDirectoryDiscoverySource>

                                  <Rules />

                            </SimpleSetting>

     

     

    Hope this helps.
