- You should be grouping similar clauses together, via parenthesis, otherwise the logic gets broken. So:
(blabla) -and ((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -or (RecipientType -eq 'MailContact'))

I have tried stripping back the filter but still cannot get it to exclude accounts with the exclude custom attribute set.
set-dynamicdistributiongroup -identity "Everyone" -RecipientFilter "((((CustomAttribute1 -ne 'EXCLUDE') -or (ExtensionCustomAttribute1 -ne 'EXCLUDE')) -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -or (RecipientType -eq 'MailContact')) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')))"- You should be grouping similar clauses together, via parenthesis, otherwise the logic gets broken. So:
(blabla) -and ((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -or (RecipientType -eq 'MailContact'))
- Update/remove the RecipientType clause, as you're currently only including mailboxes.
What would be the attrib just to add contacts as I don't want to include anything other than mailboxes and contacts?
- You can use something like:
(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -or (RecipientType -eq 'MailContact')
