Find Exchange Mailbox with a certain alias

 Today I was asked to find the mailbox that held a certain alias, or additional email address

The Exchange Admin Web client wasn't very helpful, but LDAP was with the following query...


searcher.Filter = $"(proxyaddresses=smtp:sales@company.com)";


The trick with the ldap query was I needed to include the smtp: prefix. 

In the end, it wasn't a mailbox or sharedbox, but rather a distribution list, and LDAP didn't care.

Javascript Form Validation

It's real simple. All you need to do is call a javascript function in a html  " onsubmit " in the form tag as a javascript return, like this       <form method="post" action="dosomething.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();"> If the code completes ok, the form is then sent to the page listed in "action" http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp If the function specified in the onsubmit returns false, then the form is not sent to the page mentioned in action.
