I am trying to create a query with Dynamic groups.  I only want records where the samaccountname length is 6 (string is 6 characters long).  I cannot find a method to do it.  Is this not possible?  In PowerShell, it could be done with a where statement.  In this case I use name instead of samaccountname, but it is the same idea.

get-aduser -filter {name -like '*'} | Where {$_.name.length -gt 6}

  Hello Lukas, 

  You can use such a filter in AD Users command in Filter AD Query results setting in More Paramenters section. Copy\paste this script: {$_.SamAccountName.Length -gt 6}

  

   

  I will create an enhancement request to improve the Filter builder.
