Question on filter syntax

[Paul H. <ha...@ny...>]

I am writing a script using the following LDAP search filter:

=20

=20

filter  =3D> "(objectclass=3DmsexchExchangeServer)",

=20

=20

This works fine.=20

=20

I want to exclude the objectlass=3DmsexchExchangeServerPolicy. I am =
trying
the following with no success:

=20

filter  =3D>
"(objectclass=3DmsexchExchangeServer)(!objectclass=3DmsexchExchangeServer=
Pol
icy)",

filter  =3D>
"(|(objectclass=3DmsexchExchangeServer)(!objectclass=3DmsexchExchangeServ=
erP
olicy))",

=20

=20

Any help is appreciated.

The last filter seems close, but you want AND instead of OR, and NOT
requires parens around the term being inverted.

(&(objectclass=msexchExchangeServer)(!(objectclass=msexchExchangeServerPolic
y)))

Try

 filter  => "(&(objectclass=msexchExchangeServer)(!(objectclass=msexchExchangeServerPolicy)))",
