A. The mail attribute of non-mail-enabled groups typically won’t be populated with a value and will have an object category of “group.” Using Dsquery with an LDAP route path, you can find all non-mail-enabled groups, as follows:

dsquery * dc=savilltech,dc=net -filter "(&(objectcategory=group)(!(mail=*)))" -limit 500

Here is the sample output:

"CN=Remote Desktop Users,CN=Builtin,DC=savilltech,DC=net"
"CN=Network Configuration Operators,CN=Builtin,DC=savilltech,DC=net"
"CN=Performance Monitor Users,CN=Builtin,DC=savilltech,DC=net"
