RE: Re: [OT] LDAP query syntax

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to filter objects in active directory based on which OU
they're in by referencing the "distinguishedName" property.

I can construct a query that successfully returns users which ARE in a
given OU, as follows:

(distinguishedName=*OU=Testing,DC=domain,DC=com)

Using the wildcard, because the distinguishedName property includes the
object name as well. - running a query using this filter correctly
returns all objects within the "Testing" OU in the AD Domain
"domain.com"

What I now want to do is put a logical NOT operator on the condition, so
that the query returns all objects that are *not* in a given OU... just
amending the filter to:

(!(distinguishedName=*OU=Testing2,DC=domain,DC=com)

Does not appear to work, - my query returns no objects when I run
this...

Any ideas?
