I have attributes in AD that have spaces in them... For example the mail attribute is just a space... I want to put this in my filter to ignore those but can't seem to get the right logic down...
Here is my original filter

1(&(objectClass=user)(mail=*))

Any ideas?

You want to ignore users that have a space in any of their attributes or you just want to ignore users that have a space in their email?

1(&(objectClass=user)(mail=*))

Any ideas?

try this
(&(objectClass=user)(!(mail=* *)))
should ignore any mail addresses containing a space

(&(objectClass=user)(!(mail=* *)) ((mail=*)))

should return users with a mail attribute set but not containing space
