Exchange forward to distribution group error

Hello
I would like to create a forwarding rule on my Office365 Outlook account
so that, when a new mail comes in with a certain pre-defined string in it (alert for a Sharepoint teamsite), it gets forwarded to every member of a distribution group. However I get the following error when submitting it, causing it not to take effect:
There are multiple recipients matching the identity "HEDFIN mailinglist". Please specify a unique value.
When following the specified "Click here for help", I get redirected
to a TN Exchange Server 2013 Error Landing page with the following (error-message?) in the URL: e=ms.exch.err.Ex8155FB
I'm trying to get a work-around for the fact that there is no possibility to set a global alert on a team sub-site. I'd like a mail to be sent to every user when
anything changes on a subsite. So my work-around would be that I manually set my alerts on everything of every sub-site and then forward the mails I receive (from my own alerts) to the different distribution groups (groups with different users and their mail
accounts) by filtering on the Subject (name of subsite).
Is there any other way to do this without having our members set their alerts all manually? I found similar requests from a year ago but they haven't been solved
yet.
PS: I posted this same request yesterday as well, but for some reason the link doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to find it when using Search either.
Regards
Robin

Hi Robin,
I want to double confirm the E-mail Server, Office 365 or Exchange 2013?
They are two different products, even if they are similar in many aspects.
If we are using Office 365, I suggest asking Office 365 Forum for help, so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/default.aspx
However, I still have some suggestions, maybe something silly, just for your reference:
PLEASE MAKE A FULL BACK UP BEFORE PERFORMING FOLLOWING ACTIONS!
1. Please do a full resync of on premise AD (what is not the very best solution with bigger customers)
HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSOLCoExistence
Search FullSyncNeeded value and pass it to 1
Initiating synchronization
Launch the synchronization console:
%programfiles%\Microsoft Online Directory Sync\DirSyncConfigShell.psc1
Run the following command:
Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync
2. Better is to change the settings in MOP for every affected dirsynched user-change it to something abnormal and then back to the correct value.
This triggers a repopulation of AD Property changes and fixes the MOP error.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Forward Emails - Distribution group setup Question

Using Exchange 2013. We have a user in AD called Purchasing User that has email address of
[email protected] and mailbox in Exchange. We want any emails that go to
[email protected] to be forwarded to (3) other recipients in the same AD (internal users). In Exchange we tried creating a Distribution Group with those 3 members, that we could forward to, but when that
Group gets created it automatically created an email address called
[email protected] (that does not exist at our Email host) and the forwarding failed.
1. Are we instead supposed to create the group in AD?
2. When the recipients get the email, will they see the sender's information or will they see the DG info--we want them to see the sender's info.
Thanks!

Did you try setting the forward from the powershell? If not please creating a group and try the below command.
Set-Mailbox –identity [email protected] –ForwardingAddress [email protected] delivertomailboxandforward $true
If you don't want to deliver to the original mailbox type "deliverytomailboxandforward $false" at the end
If you dont want to forward without delivering to the original mailbox, I would suggest you to delete the [email protected] mailbox, Create a distribution group with email address [email protected] and add the required members to the group.
Thanks, MAS

Exchange 2010 Dynamic Distribution Group - RecipientContainer ignored

Maybe someone will be able to help me with this... I am trying to create DDGs for my organization but it seems the "RecipientContainer" is being ignored. I have reorganized AD to include a top level OU called "Active Employees"
and within that are sub-OUs for each department. I also have a top level OU for "Disabled Accounts" and users in those OUs are ending up on my DDG. Is this a known issue with Exchange 2010?
First I had created the DDG in EMC and everything looked good. I set the Recipient Container on the Filter tab by using the browse button and selecting mydomain.local\Active Employees, and then selected "Users with Exchange Mailboxes".
On the Conditions tab I left everything blank and when I clicked on Preview it returned the list of users I expected to see. After sending a test email and receiving an NDR from an email contact (not on the preview list) I realized something was
wrong.
At this point I found out how to query the group members using the shell and saw that all users in the entire domain were being put into the group. To resolve this I added a Condition for Company name and then tediously updated the field for each user
in AD. After querying the group from the shell again the results looked a little better - it was actually only pulling users with the correct "Company" in AD. The problem is it still seems to be ignoring the RecipientContainer parameter
and querying the entire domain instead of my Active Employees OU.
I have reproduced the same results whether creating the DDG from EMC or from the Shell. When I try to use the Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet to update the recipient container it warns me that the commad was successful but nothing has been modified.
This was supposed to be a simple solution for keeping our distribution groups up to date - maybe I should've known better...

Hello Dave,
Thanks for the post. Let me tell you how I was able to go ahead and resolve the issue in my lab.
I had created a OU called Enabled users
Then I created Two different Child Ou's : Disabledusersou1 and DisabledUsersou2
So if I open the ADUC my OU would look something like this
EnabledUsers
Disbaledusersou1
Disbaledusersou2
Now I Had created users on all the above Ou's. When I created a Dynamicdistributiongroup with the recipientcontainer as EnabledUsers, it picked up users even from Disabledusersou1 and Disabledusersou2. Then I set the
customattribute1 to test in the DynamicDistributiongroup.
Then I went ahead and ran the following command
Get-mailbox | {$_.Organizationalunit -like "domain.local\EnabledUsers"}
The above command listed only the users from the enabledusers Ou. Now the next step was to go ahead and add the customattribute1 to test on the Users in the EnabledUsers OU. So I ran the following command
Get-mailbox | {$_.Organizationalunit -like "domain.local\EnabledUsers"} | set-mailbox -customattribute1 test
After I ran the above command. I waited for the AD replication. Once the Ad was replicated, I went ahead and did a Preview in the DynamicDistributiongroup and only found users from the EnabledUsers.
I even confirmed by sending an email to the dynamicdistributiongroup with a delivery receipt. I got the receipt for all the users in the EnabledUsers OU.
Waiting to hear from you

what could be the issue
great full for help

Check the Access Control List on the group you are having problems. Odds are, someone has changed them for some reason and the account you are using doesn't have the rights it needs. Fix that and it should come across fine.

Exchange 2013, a distribution group within a distribution group is not receiving emails.

Here's the explanation of what's going on:
"A" is an internal distribution group containing other internal contacts, and internal distribution groups "B" and "C". "B" is a working distribution group that contains all internal contacts. "C" contains all
external contacts, who will successfully receive emails sent directly to "C". The problem is, when you send an email to "A", everyone in "B" receives the email, but no one in "C" does. "C" is set to receive
emails from external sources and has correct SMTP settings as far as I can tell.
Is this problem related to the fact that "C" is full of external contacts? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that will allow "C" to receive emails sent to "A"?
Edit: Group "C" can not receive emails at all.

Sorry, i meant does the mailbox you are sending the email FROM have permission to send emails TO external email address?
Our exchange server is set up so that certain people can only email internal addresses. This is configured in the ECP under Mail Flow - Rules, and is basically configured to state that anyone within the AD group "internal only" to reject the message and
provide the explanation "you are not allowed to email externally".
If the mailbox you are sending the mail from is not permitted to email external contacts, it wont work.
It can be tested by emailing one of the addresses in Group C individually.

Exchange 2013 Dynamic Distribution Groups in Lync 2013

Working on a new Exchange 2013 Lync 2013 environment. I'm having trouble getting Dynamic Distribution groups that exist in Exchange to populate in to the Lync Address book. Currently If I create a normal Distribution list in Exchange,
it populates in to Lync as I would expect and can be searched and added to a users Contact list. But for whatever reason the Dynamic distribution groups do not show at all in Lync. They do show properly in the Exchange & Outlook Client GAL.
And I can use them to send email to recipients. I'm stumped and can;t find any documentation that addresses if it is by design or if I have missed something.

By design it won't work, here is documentation.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398577.aspx
Lync Server 2013 uses the Distribution List Expansion Protocol (DLX) to expand distribution lists. This protocol also specifies the web service method that is used to get the membership of a distribution list. Microsoft Exchange Server supports dynamic groups
that do not have members statically assigned to them. Instead, they store queries that are evaluated when the group is expanded. DLX does not support dynamic distribution lists.

Exchange 2010 dynamic distribution group - too many entries in results

Hi
I've inherited some dynamic groups that were created on exchange 2003 [about 50 groups]. When I run the following query I seem to get far too many users returned [looking via ADUC the group should have 2 users]. How can I ensure I get the correct results?
Get-Recipient -RecipientPReviewFilter (Get-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity "All Staff IT").LDAPRecipientFilter | Select Name,PrimarySMTPAddress
Thanks

Hi,
How about filtering members in EMC?
I think the abnormal result related to the filter conditions.
How about the command that Rich provided?
Thanks

Non-universal distribution groups - cant remove or add new members

Hello,
We are running MS Exchange 2010 on a MS Windows 2008 R2 domain.
I have two mail non-universal distribution groups that I am unable to add or delete members when I go to that group from Exchange -> Recipient Config -> Distribution Group.
What should I do to resolve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Mail-enabled non-universal groups were discontinued in Exchange Server 2007 and can exist only if they were migrated from Exchange 2003 or earlier versions of Exchange.
Did you migrate the two non-universal groups from earlier version?
If so, I recommend you convert them to universal and then add or remove members in EMC. You can use the
Set-Group <Group Name> -Universal command to convert to universal type.
Best regards,

Cannot manage Distribution group membership when two exchange accounts are configured in outlook.

Hi,
I am using outlook 2013 and my exchange server is 2013 too.
I have a distribution group named "[email protected]" and my user "[email protected]" is moderator of this DL and i was able to add/remove members from this.
Now, I own one more exchange account as "[email protected]" and i configured the same in outlook 2013 as an exchange account and what i see is i am unable to edit the DL "[email protected]"
My default account in outlook is "[email protected]" still i cant edit the DL. As i delete the account "[email protected]" from outlook or configures it ([email protected]) as an IMAP i am able to moderate "[email protected]".
Any Clue ???
Error message :- "Changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object."
My Exchange server 2013 and outlook both are having latest updates installed. Thanks.

I have configured second account as Exchange only in the same Outlook profile. I don't want to switch my profiles to operate the either the accounts.
Both the accounts are different and don't have any relevancy to each other. "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"
What i suppose is, "[email protected]" is having permissions on the DL "[email protected]"
but "[email protected]" dosent have it. So when i edit "[email protected]" outlook is
using "[email protected]" to edit it and not "[email protected]"

Exchange 2003/2010 Co-Existence - Distribution Group Management

We're running both exchange 2010 and Exchange 2003. I have an issue where some distribution groups were upgraded to Exchange 2010 (v14.0.100) and the manager of those lists who are on Exchange 2003 can no longer modify members, they get the error:
"Changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object".
We've already implemented the myDistributionGroupsManagement role with success to allow Exchange 2010 users to manage their own list without allowing them to create new ones.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/11/18/3408844.aspx
Trying to apply the "Default Role Policy Assignement" to the exchange 2003 users returns an error. Is there any way Exchange 2003 users can manage Exchange 2010 Distribution list they owned without being upgraded to Exchange 2010? If not, is
there any way to downgrade distribution group to Exchange 2003 once they've been upgraded?

Hi,
From my lab, legacy exchange user can manage the distribution group which has been upgrade to Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2010 sp2, Exchange 2003 with sp2.
I can add/remove member for distribution group from address book via outlook.

Can't manage distribution group from Outlook with Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 mailbox

Hi All,
In my environment we are using exchange 2010 that contains the distribution groups which has been migrated from exchange 2003 environment .On that one of the distribution group is having an problem for the user who had an access to manage DL'S via outlook
but he can't able to manage it.When we add the new user to manage same DL and the new user tries to manage the DL via outlook it happens without any issues.
issue occurs only for the user who has already have the manage access permission on the DL where the group was on exchange 2003 before migrated to exchange 2010.
Reffered blog : http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2586832?wa=wsignin1.0
We have done all the settings defined on the above mentioned link but still we are facing the issue.
In addition to that , we have forcefully upgraded the DL too by using the below mentioned command.
set-distributiongroup -identity "name of the problematic DL" -forceupgrade
Please all of you provide your valuable suggestions to overcome this issue .

Thanks S.Nithyanandham

Hi S.Nithyanandham,
From your description, I would like to verify if the problematic manager user is a member of security group. If yes, this issue will occur. In Exchange 2010, distribution groups can't be managed by groups, only individual users can manage groups. But in
Exchange 2003, it is possible to use groups to manage a distribution group.
For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

Can't add or remove members from an exchange 2010 distribution group

Hello.
i have exchange 2010 SP1. When i connect to the server with administrator login in the EMC, i can't add or remove members from distribution group. I don t understand why because i am admin. I have this error : "You
do not have sufficient permissions. This operation can be performed by a group leader"
how i can change this. I wan t only admin can edit members group
hanks for help

Hi,
If you have checked the permission, I suggest you checking the Membership Approval configuration.
1. Closed the option “owner approval is required to join the group”
2. Open the option “anyone can leave this group without being approved by the group owners”
To do this, follow the details at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125178.aspx
