LDAP Search Filter

[Guest Close Guest]

I'm not able to get a new query with a custom LDAP search with more than one condition to work.
I create a new query under AD Queries, Query Type "Container/OU Contents", and create a custom LDAP Search Filter, select "Include subcontainers..." select Define for the LDAP Search Filter, select "Custom Search", Field and select Computer and then Name Starts with Value: ABC and add to Condition List, then add a second Condition (XYZ) to the list and the result is the following filter that doesn’t seem to work:
(&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer)( cn=ABC*)(cn=XYZ*))

If I only have one condition (e.g. ABC or XYZ) it works.
p.s. On MSDN page referred to in help the syntax should contain or (|) like: (&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer)| (cn=ABC*)(cn=XYZ*))
but this doesn’t work either.

Try this way:

(&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer)( |(cn=ABC*)(cn=XYZ*)))

Re: LDAP Search Filter

Yes, this format works thank you very much

The query isn't then correctly formed by Hyena and the MSDN format doesn't work either. Is that correct?

Re: LDAP Search Filter

Windows returns it to Hyena that way, so we have no control over that. The MSDN example is what I gave you. You just missed the extra set of ().

Hmm ok, I actually just coped an example from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa746475.aspx but this works so I'm happy.
