msExchVersion Attribute not supported by OIM Exchange Connector 11.1.1.6.0

While checking the forums, I came across this post where the author was trying to run the target reconciliation using msExchVersion attribute in search filter. The author has OIM 11g BP07 and was using OIM - Exchange Connector 11.1.1.6.0. The environment has multiple version of Exchange Servers i.e., 2007 & 2003.

Just for little background, Exchange 2007 introduced a new user attribute called msExchVersion that tracks the Exchange version a mailbox is created on. This may be useful if you want to manage mailboxes by Exchange version.
Exchange 2003 and earlier = ""
Exchange 2007  = "4535486012416"
Exchange 2010 = "44220983382016"

 
After reading the connector 11.1.1.6.0 documentation, I came to know that only specific attributes can be used in search filter for running limited reconciliation. (Refer Page 75). Here is the list:

The following attributes are supported in the filters:
  • ArchiveQuota
  • ProhibitSendQuota
  • ArchiveWarningQuota
  • Database
  • IssueWarningQuota
  • ProhibitSendQuota
  • ProhibitSendReceiveQuota
  • UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults
  • ExternalEmailAddress
  • DisplayName
  • SimpleDisplayName
  • EmailAddressPolicyEnabled
  • HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled
  • MaxSendSize
  • MaxReceiveSize
  • Name
  • Alias
  • PrimarySmtpAddress
  • RecipientLimits
  • RecipientType
  • WhenChanged
  • CustomAttribute1, CustomAttribute2, and so on up to CustomAttribute15

However, the 11.1.1.5.0 and 9.1.1.7 doesn't specifically mention any list of attributes that can be used in search filter in reconciliation task. So, I think in environment with mixed version of Exchange servers, these two version should be used.
