Exchange Server - Query-based Distribution Group - Problem

Asked By Khan H on 25-Feb-11 05:02 PM
Greeting to all,

Recently one of our qbdg mass email lists stopped working and I
cannot, for the life of me, figure out what is wrong. Our exchange
environment (Exchange 2003) consists of 3 servers for a local
University and we have 3 qbdg lists to email students, faculty and
staff. The query works with custom attributes for each AD user.

2 of the lists work fine, but the student list is not doing anything.
Our exchange admin also quit so I am quickly trying to understand how
exchange works (mostly thanks to this group) but I noticed that before
he left, he created a new store for the students and moved all the
mailboxes to that store. Consequently, this is around the same time
that the list stopped working.

I have looked at the preview for the qbdg and everyone appears. The list
is quite large, since we have over 8,000 students...but since it was
working before, I scratched out a limit problem.

My question is: Can changing stores result in this problem?

I appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer! Thanks in advance!!

Sorry but after a few more days of prying I found the previous
exchange admin set a hard limit to the amount of recipients. I set it
to 'no limit' (not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing) but
nevertheless, all is working now.
