Advanced ldap query

I need to write an ldap query which will allow me to detect if a user
has changed SMTP address...
I set a ExtensionAttribute7 with the value of the MAIL attribute, now
I need to get the resultset from an ldap query where
ExtensionAttribute7 differs from MAIL

something like: (&(ExtensionAttribute7<>mail))

but I seem to need a prefix for mail (currentObject.mail) or
something???

Try this:

(!(extensionAttribute7=mail))

The "<>" operator is not valid LDAP query syntax.

You might find these links useful in writing your queries:

Hope this helps!

Do you mean that it looks up the mail attribute and then compares that with the
extension attribute? If so, no, you can't do that with LDAP, any LDAP, not just
MS LDAP.
