Dynamic Distribution Group filter by CustomAttribute
Hello,
I am trying to create a Dynamic Distribution Group filter like follows. Example recipients:
user1 CustomAttribute1: 'a','b'
user2 CustomAttribute1: 'b','a','c'
user3 CustomAttribute1: 'aa','b'
How can I get User1 and User2 to be included in the Dynamic Distribution Group DDG-Test because their CustomAttribute1 contains value 'a'?
I tried the RecipientFilter like this and learned this is not possible with the cloud DDG
-RecipientFilter {CustomAttribute1 -like "*'a'*"}
-RecipientFilter {CustomAttribute1 -match"'a'"}
What are other options to create Dynamic Distribution Group for criteria like this?

- This seems to work here:
[09:50:24][O365]# Get-Mailbox shared | fl CustomAttribute5
CustomAttribute5 : 'a'
[09:51:18][O365]# Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter {CustomAttribute5 -like "*'a'*"}
Name RecipientType

shared UserMailbox- Hi Vasil,
Thank you for your reply!
I was wondering how can I apply this to the Dynamic distribution group member filtering?
Set-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity "DDG-Test" -RecipientFilter ??- Oh right, forgot you cannot have a leading wildcard for DDG filter. So it doesn't look like it's possible, sorry.
