Calling all Active Directory and Mail geek chiefs....
Ok, here's the problem. I have an active directory structure with thousands of entries. Computers, groups etc the whole ball of wax.
In there ... somewhere .... is a distribution group that has an email address and I need to add people to that distribution list. Here's the kicker. I do not know what the name of the distribution list is. I do, however, have the email address that is associated with the group and I can make a new test user and assign that same email address to verify it exists and I get the expected "that address already exists" bla bla..
So I know the email address, but no clue where the distribution list is or even how to find it.
Using the search feature in active directory users and computers doesn't really work as I fear that it is an address that is tacked onto a different distribution list that is not named anything remotely like what the email address is called (I have seearched using all sorts of similar names)
It looks like the ability to search by group email address from within the Active Directory users and computers snapin does not exist!!! (You can search for a user or a contact by email address but there is no such function for a group)
