Attributes for Exchange 5.5 Mailboxes : Class
This is NOT an LDAP attribute of the mailbox class. It is rather an interface property of the ADSI object representing the mailbox. Therefore, this 'attribute' is not created by the LDAP directory but provided by the ADSI interface. For this reason you cannot use the 'Class' property in any LDAP filter!
The string contained here in this property represents the structural object class which is organizationalPerson for Exchange 5.5 mailbox objects.
Class
| ADSI name | Class |
| Data type | ADSI Interface Property -> String |

| Interface documentation | Microsoft - MSDN |

If obj.class = "organizationalPerson" Then

End If
