When configuring a Search activity, you can specify which object you want the activity to select at workflow run time.

Search options

The activity provides various options allowing you to refine your search. Which options are available depends upon the search scenario and the object type to search for, as shown in the tables that follow.

The following table summarizes the search scenario-specific search options.

Table 55: Search activity: Search options

Search scenario

Search options available

Search in the Organizational Unit (OU) or container

  • Retrieve only immediate child objects of the Organizational Unit or container: Use this option to restrict the search to objects for which the given OU or container is the immediate parent in Active Directory.

  • Retrieve any objects held in the Organizational Unit or container: Use this option to search in the entire directory tree rooted in the given OU or container.

Search for resources managed or owned by the user or group

  • Retrieve objects managed by the user or group (primary owner): Use this option to search for objects that have the given user or group specified in the Managed By property.

  • Retrieve objects for which the user or group is a secondary owner: Use this option to search for objects that have the given user or group specified in the Secondary Owners property.

  • Retrieve objects managed or owned due to membership in groups (indirect ownership): Use this option to search for objects for which the given user or group is a direct or indirect member of the group specified in the Managed By or Secondary Owners property.

Search the group for its members

  • Also retrieve indirect members: Use this option for your search results to include indirect members of the given group. With this option, the activity searches not only for objects that are directly added to the group (direct members) but also for indirect members-objects that belong to the group because of their membership in other groups which are direct or indirect members of the given group.

  • Also retrieve pending members: Use this option for your search results to include objects that are scheduled to be added to the group by using the Temporal Group Memberships capability of Active Roles.

Search within the object's attribute (ASQ search)

  • Search within this attribute: Specifies the attribute for the ASQ search. This must be an attribute that stores Distinguished Names, such as the Member Of or Managed By attribute. The search is performed against the objects that are identified by the Distinguished Names found in that attribute. For example, a search within the Member Of attribute of a user account looks for groups in which the user is a member.

The following table lists the search options that are specific to the object type. The search results contain only the objects that match the options you selected.

  • Shared mailboxes: Search for user accounts representing Microsoft Exchange shared mailboxes.

  • Mailboxes on this server: Search for user accounts representing Microsoft Exchange mailboxes hosted on a certain Mailbox server. You can select the desired Mailbox server.

  • Mailboxes in this mailbox store or database: Search for user accounts representing Microsoft Exchange mailboxes held in a certain mailbox store or database. You can select the desired mailbox store or database.

Inactive Accounts

  • Account type: Search for user accounts only, computer accounts only, or both user and computer accounts.

  • Criteria of inactivity: Search for accounts that have not logged on in the past number of days, accounts whose password has not changed in the past number of days, or accounts that expired more than a certain number of days before the current date.

Search for inactive accounts

If you choose the Search in the Organizational Unit or container option, then you can configure the activity to search for inactive user or computer accounts. The Inactive Accounts object type provides for the following search options:

  • Account type to search for: You can choose to search for user accounts only, search for computer accounts only, or search for both user and computer accounts.

  • Search for accounts that haven’t logged on in the past number of days: This option allows you to specify the period, in days, that an account is not used to log on, after which the account is considered inactive. The search retrieves a given account if no successful logons to that account have occurred for more days than specified by this option.

    The Search activity uses the lastLogonTimeStamp attribute to determine the last time that a given user or computer successfully logged on. Active Directory updates that attribute only periodically, rather than every time that a user or computer logs on. Normally, the period of update is 14 days. This means that the lastLogonTimeStamp value could be off by as much as 14 days, so the true last logon time is later than lastLogonTimeStamp. Hence, it is advisable to choose the logon inactivity period of more than 14 days.

  • Search for accounts whose password has not changed in the past number of days: This option allows you to specify the password age, in days, after which an account is considered inactive. The search retrieves a given account if the password of the account remains unchanged for more days than specified by this option.

  • Search for accounts that expired more than a certain number of days before the current date: This option allows you to specify the number of days after which an expired account is considered inactive. The search retrieves a given account if the account remains in the expired state for more days than specified by this option.

The option to search for inactive accounts is also available when you configure the activity to search for the Users or Computers object type. You can restrict the search to inactive accounts by choosing the appropriate options to determine what accounts are considered inactive. These options are the same as with the Inactive Accounts object type.

Search filter

The Search filter option allows you to refine your search to locate directory objects based on the properties (attributes) of the objects. For example, you may want to find all the team members in a certain department that report to the manager named John Smith or you may be interested in computer accounts that were not used for a certain time period. In either case, you can use a Search filter to look for specific values in the object properties, thereby ensuring that the search results contain only the objects with the specified properties.

A Search filter is composed of conditions combined using AND or OR logic. Each condition is a certain statement that specifies the criteria the activity must use to determine whether a given object is to be included in the search results.

To create a filter, you need to add at least one condition, but you are not limited in the number of conditions you can add. By using multiple conditions, you can create very complex filters.

You can add, delete, and group filter conditions using different operators. You can even nest condition groups within other condition groups to achieve the results that you want. When the activity runs, the filter is evaluated to determine if the objects found by the search meet the criteria you specified in the filter. If a given object meets the criteria, the object is added to the search results; otherwise, the object is filtered out. If you do not create a filter, then all objects found by the search are included in the search results.

A filter condition is composed of three parts: the name of a certain property, the comparison operator, and the value to compare the property with (comparison value). Some operators do not require a comparison value. When creating a condition, you first choose a certain property. Then, you select the desired comparison operator and, if necessary, specify the comparison value you want. The list from which to select a comparison operator depends on the type of the property you are creating the condition for.

Whether you have to specify a comparison value depends on the comparison operator. The following tables summarize the comparison operators and comparison values that are available.

The comparison operators from which you can choose when configuring a filter condition are as follows.
