Adding member in Distribution Group

We have recently migrated from Microsoft Exchange to Office 365. When I add member in Distribution Group in
https://outlook.office365.com/ecp, the below message is shown up:
The action 'Update-DistributionGroupMember', 'Identify,Members', can't be performed.
Please advise.

Hi,

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.

Command to Modify Distribution Group

Dear All
Here i have an scenario
I have a distribution group called Messaging Team
I have 10 members in that distribution group
If one user who is member of distribution group sends an announcement to the same distribution group he should not get this email in his inbox.
I know this is the default behavior of the distribution group it works . But there is a work around for this to setup filters in recipient shell commands.
I want to know the command to setup the filter for the distribution group when the sender sends the email who is member of distribution group he should not get the message.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, the recipient filter can be used to create distribution group. I don't know whether the recipient filter can be used to filter message recipients during the message sending or transport. And there is no reference for this workaround.
There is no feature in Exchange to achieve your requirement directly. It is a requirement for all distribution groups when any group members send messages to the group. Maybe we can use codes to send message, then filter the recipients based on the distribution
group to have a try.

Effective Permissions to send email to distribution group having "only senders in the following list"

Our environment is a mixed Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 server environment, still in transition (after 4 years). Users have Exchange 2007 mailboxes. A recent problem has been reported in a distribution group access model that has been working without
complaint for several years.
[email protected] has member John Doe ([email protected]), Jane Doe ([email protected]), "only senders in the following list" is set to GroupA
[email protected] has member Rob Smith ([email protected]), Diane Smith ([email protected]), "only senders in the following list" is set to GroupB
[email protected] has members GroupA, GroupB, "only senders in the following list" is set to GroupC
When designed, we thought that when [email protected] sends an email to [email protected] it would be resolved to the user members of GroupC and delivered to everyone ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]). (While
it seems unlikely, that this model has functioned for several years without experiencing this problem, it is conceivable that until recently [email protected] and [email protected] have with few exceptions always had the same membership. Recent changes in
our organizational model have caused this to have some exceptions, and may be the root cause of this problem.)
What we are experiencing is that users [email protected] and [email protected] receive the original email. Users [email protected], [email protected] do not receive the email. [email protected] receives an email "Undeliverable: test
Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
[email protected]
Your message wasn't delivered because of security policies. Microsoft will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator. Sent by Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

What is the expected behavior?
Does Exchange resolve the "To" distribution group to member mailboxes for delivery purposes, or does it walk the subordinate child groups and check security at each level?
Is this a configurable behavior that may have recently changed as we have a "new" Exchange Admin poking around?
Might this be related to the mixed Exchange 2007 / 2010 environment?
Is there a way to obtain "effective permissions" for delivery restrictions?
emc2

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if you have done some changes for GroupB distribution group. Ensure that "[email protected]" is added to the "accept list" in GroupB's message delivery
restrictions.
What's more, are GroupA GroupB and GroupC Exchange 2010 distribution groups?

Internal email delivery taking very long time (EMAIL WITH attachment sent to large distribution group)

Hi Fellows
I am facing an issue with Exchange 2010 SP3 (14.03.0123.003) environment. Internal email sent with attachment to an all employee or large-member distribution group chokes the queue on Hub Transport and takes from 7 to 15 minutes to deliver. during this
time period users's emails are also delayed because of transport queue. I am trying to diagnose the root cause for this. Your suggessions and insight might be helpful for me to get it over quickly.
2 x HT + CAS (WNLB)
2 x MBX (DAG)
UserBase: 5000+
Regards.
J.A

Hi,
Generally, a message that has a large attachment or many recipients takes longer for a Hub Transport server to process than a small message that's addressed to only one recipient.
In Exchange 2010, after a message is received by the Hub Transport server, the message is added to the Submission queue. Messages move from the Submission queue through the categorizer. When the message is categorized, a recipient's e-mail
address is resolved to an object in Active Directory. This query determines the mailbox associated with that e-mail address and which Mailbox server is hosting that mailbox.
For more information about Internal message Routing, please refer to the following link.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232193(v=exchg.141).aspx
In addition, Slow network bandwidth will effect email delivery. We can increase the network bandwidth to take a test. Low computer performance will also affect the delivery. If sending internal email without attachment to all employee or
large-member distribution group, will they take the same long time to deliver?
Best Regards.

"Active Directory operation failed on DC " when assigning Send As permissions on a distribution group

I'm trying to give a mailbox user Send As right for a distribution group. But the cmdlet comes back with this:
Get-DistributionGroup MyGroup | Add-ADPermission -user albert -ExtendedRights Send-As
Active Directory operation failed on <DC fqdn>. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Access is denied.
Active directory response: 00000005: SecErr: DSID-03151E07, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (0:Int32) [Add-ADPermission], ADOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FE24751F,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.AddADPermission
What could be the problem, considering the items below :
- inheritance is not broken to the level of the distribution group object
- the account used to run the cmdlet is a member of the Organization Management group
- creating a new distribution group in the same OU and running the command works as expected; checking the permission for this group against MyGroup (using Get-DistributionGroup testgroup | Get-ADPermission | Sort-Object User,AccessRights | ft user,accessrights,extendedrights,properties)
shows no differences.
- adding the permission using ADUC results in the user being able to Send As the group, however I'm trying to find out the root cause of the Powershell cmdlet execution problem
- there is no Deny permission on the group's ACL
- the group didn't have the "Hide Membership" feature of Exchange 2003 applied, so there shouldn't be any non-canonical ACL issues

Anyone ever come up with a solution to this? I get something similar when Activesync tries to create objects on user containers.
Exchange ActiveSync doesn't have sufficient permissions to create the "CN=Test User,OU=Domain Users,DC=domain,DC=com" container under Active Directory user "Active Directory operation failed on DELL7S09.domain.com. This error is not retriable.
Additional information: Access is denied.
Active directory response: 00000005: SecErr: DSID-03151E07, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0
Make sure the user has inherited permission granted to domain\Exchange Servers to allow List, Create child, Delete child of object type "msExchActiveSyncDevices" and doesn't have any deny permissions that block such operations.
Details:%3
So...I get this after I introduced a MS Exchange 2010 SP3 RU8 server into my environment. You can find LOTS of people suggesting the same fix but I've not found anything that deviates from those fixes: check the "inherit permissions",
and give full permis to msExchActiveSync devices for the Exchange Servers security group, blah blah.
I got to this point by following a Migrate to Exch2010 paper by MS. I have no Win2k servers, my old Exchange server is Win2003r2SP2 with Exch2003SP2 fully patched. The Exch server is also a DC. I installed a new 2012r2 server and then patched
it. Installed Exch2010SP3Ru8 and all seems well.
The old Exch2003 server is still in production. My iPhone army connects remotely for mail, and all works great. I created a new Test User in AD, gave it a mailbox on the 2003 server, and waited a bit. It eventually shows up in the Server
Manager on the new 2010 Exch Server. I send it a bunch of emails, connect to it with an outook client on a Win7 machine, all works. I go to the SM on the 2010 box and migrate the mailbox to the new server. It works. I can connect with
outlook, send receive mail to other users in the org. I then try to connect with my iPhone and I get the message in Event Viewer over and over.
Went so far as to Promo the new 2012 server to a DC. seems to be fine. Now am wondering if I Demote the old Exch2003 server will it help...or cause a new crop of issues....

Bug in ABP based segregation at distribution group level

We have Exchange 2013 based hosted exchange platform, tenants are segregated via ABP with custom attribute1 as a filter. users, distribution groups etc. are properly segregated as expected.
when a user login to owa\ecp and navigate to Options->Groups, they can see the distribution groups it is member of and the distribution group for whom he is defined as manager, with in the same tenants. All good as expected.
but now when you click on join button, it open up a windows which exposes all the security groups and distribution groups from all the tenants on this platform. it clearly says the
ABP is not taking care of segregation at this level and expose ALL Groups Address list to all the tenants bypassing the ABP segregation. Is their any hack exist for this issue?

Hi Qaiser, this isn't a bug, it's a limitation of what the ABP code can do. This is why the guidance document (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756468) says the following;
Problem or Issue Description
Some EAC/ECP features will not work correctly in a multi-tenant configuration when using Exchange 2013.
For example, the distribution group self-service functionality can expose data from other tenants.
For example, adding a user to any RBAC group that exposes the Distribution Group Management options in ECP will likely result in exposing data from all tenants.
Recommended Approach to Solve
It is recommended that you disable the features that do not work correctly. For the DG self-service and management tools, you can do this by simply not including users in the
MyDistributionGroupMembership RBAC role group that enables the functionality and user interface.
It is also recommended to completely disable access to the Exchange Administration Center by modifying the
Set-ECPVirtualDirectory –AdminEnabled parameter on all tenant-facing servers.
Unsupported Solutions
Modification of any of the files that are used for EAC/ECP is unsupported. If you decide to build a control panel solution, that solution must only use built-in cmdlets and interfaces.

Help with dynamic distribution group exclusion

Hi all,
Having a strange trouble with a dynamic distribution group filtering on the user being a member of a particular group
Recipient Filter is:
((((((((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (-not(Title -like '[]*')))) -and (MemberOfGroup -ne 'CN =ExcludeFromMoitorigList,OU=Mail Redirect,OU=System Accounts,OU=New Objects,DC=test,DC=local'))) -and (-not(UserAccountControl -eq 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount, DoNotExpirePassword')))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'MailboxPlan')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'DiscoveryMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'ArbitrationMailbox')))
If I make a preview of this distribution list I get expected result. Users included in ExcludeFromMoitorigList group don't appear. But they continue receive emails sent to dynamic distribution group.
Any help is much appreciated

I'm not sure what all of the settings you are adding are for, but operating under the assumption that they are necessary, try this:
((((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (-not(Title -like '[]*')) -and (-not(MemberOfGroup -eq 'CN =ExcludeFromMoitorigList,OU=Mail Redirect,OU=System Accounts,OU=New Objects,DC=test,DC=local')))) -and (-not(UserAccountControl -eq 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount, DoNotExpirePassword')))
If that doesn't work, try this:
((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (-not(Title -like '[]*')) -and (-not(MemberOfGroup -eq 'CN =ExcludeFromMoitorigList,OU=Mail Redirect,OU=System Accounts,OU=New Objects,DC=test,DC=local')) -and (-not(UserAccountControl -eq 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount, DoNotExpirePassword')))
FYI, the reason for those suggestions is because I got this working on Exchange 2013 running on Server 2012 Datacenter by taking the existing RecipientFilter and adding the -not MemberOfGroup section, but noticed that all of this was then duplicated:
-and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'MailboxPlan')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'DiscoveryMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'PublicFolderMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'ArbitrationMailbox'))
As such, I re-created it without that, and that's what I've done with your string. I also changed the -ne to a -not(-eq) and in the second example, got rid of some extra parenthesis that I'm not sure you need.
Also, note that in my working scenario, I used this command and put the filter I was setting where I have indicated <filter> (I left the double quotes in the command):
Set-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity <Group> -RecipientFilter "<filter>"

Group ownership of Distribution Group not working

Hi,
We recently migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013 CU2. We have various security groups with permissions to edit various distribution lists; this is no longer working. I've already researched the problem and I understand two things are necessary for a
user to have permission to edit a distribution list:
1. User must have membership in the My Distribution Groups and My Distro Groups Membership roles. Already done.
2. User must be an owner of the distribution group.
The problem comes with the ownership. I'm assigning ownership of the distribution list to a security group, of which my test user is a member. Per
this article, groups can own groups again as of 2013 CU1.
If I directly assign a user ownership of the group, they can edit membership without issue, which means item #1 is satisfied. But they are not receiving ownership by way of membership in the group that owns the distribution list. Or put another way, their
group membership is not granting them ownership of the group as it should.
Any thoughts? Spent a good hour searching and can't come up with anything.
Thanks,
James

Hi -
That is correct, and is a problem with dozens of existing distribution groups.
For testing purposes I just did the following:
1. Created a new distribution group "Test Distro Group"
2. Created a new mail-enabled security group "Test Distro Group Owners"
3. Ran Set-DistributionGroup -Identity "Test Distro Group" -ManagedBy "Test Distro Group Owners"
4. Confirmed ownership via the shell:
Get-DistributionGroup -Identity "Test Distro Group" | fl
GroupType                               : Universal
SamAccountName                       : Test Distro Group
BypassNestedModerationEnabled  : False
ManagedBy                                 : {contoso.com/Users/Test Distro Group Owners}
5. Confirmed ownership via ECP:
6. Added a test user "_Sample Teacher" to the "Test Distro Group Owners" group. Confirmed membership via ECP:
7. Logged into OWA as "_Sample Teacher," went to Options, then Groups. "Test Distro Group Owners" is shown as a group that the user belongs to, however no groups are shown under "distribution groups I own."
8. If I add "_Sample Teacher" directly as an owner of "Test Distro Group," the group appears as expected as an owned group.
So in short...the user is a member of the security group, the security group owns distribution group; the user should then be an owner of the distro group via membership in the security group, however this is not working.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm not sure where to go next.

Cannot assign an email address to SharePoint group (distribution groups)

Hello,
I configured incoming email awhile back in our SharePoint 2010 environment and it works great. I can assign an email address to a list and the necessary contact is created in AD in the OU I configured for incoming email and of course the item emailed in
is added to the list. However, if I try to assign an email address to a SharePoint group to create a distribution group, the following happens:
The following error has occurred while attempting to contact the Directory Management Service: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
From what I've found on Technet and other resources, if incoming email works as expected, assign an email address to a group should work without issue but this obviously isn't the case. I've dug around in the 14 hive and pretty much the same exact error
is found there (with just a little more detail):
System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.DirectorySoap.SPDirectoryManagementProxy.CreateDistributionGroup(String Alias, String Name, String Description, String ContactCN, RequestInfo Info, DistributionGroupFlags Flags)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGroup.CreateDMS(String dlAlias, String friendlyName, String description, String[] members, String requestor, String justification, Int32& jobId)
Any ideas what this could be? I'd imagine the timer service account has the appropriate permission on the OU as it can create objects for lists with incoming email enabled without issue.

For the issue with group members who are not added during the creation process ...
I followed this Technet article : Configure
incoming email for a SharePoint 2013 farm
But in the paragraph "Configure AD DS to be used with Directory Management Service", I added
delegation of control for the following common tasks :
Create, delete and manage groups
Modify the membership of a group
The distribution group gets created in AD with members in SharePoint 2013 ! It should work with 2010 as well…
PS : Do not forget to set up these rights, not only for the Central Administration Application pool Identity account, but for all
your Web Applications!

Dynamic Distribution Group set conditions by importing text file?

Exchange 2010 SP2.
I created a dynamic distribution group via the EMC. We have populated AD with ExtenstionAttribute1 and ExtensionAttribute2. I have created the ddg with custom attribute1 value = employee. What I need to do now is populate custom attribute
2 = 00-0001, 00-0002, and so on. There are about 300 of these numbers I need to add. I have them in a text file or csv file. Instead of adding them one by one in the EMC, is there a way to import them via powershell to the existing ddg?
The ddg is called All Management Employees.

If they go from 00-0001 to 00-0300, you could just add them as follows:
Set-DynamicDistributionGroup <group name> -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute1 -eq 'employee') -and (CustomAttribute2 -like '00-0*')"
However, if you have additional items like this (such as 00-0350, etc), you may need to use the following:
Set-DynamicDistributionGroup <group name> -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute1 -eq 'employee') -and ((CustomAttribute2 -like '00-00*') -or (CustomAttribute2 -like '00-01*') -or (CustomAttribute2 -like '00-02*') -or (CustomAttribute2 -eq '00-00300')"
Now, if your numbering isn't sequential and it can't be, you would need to add them individually - which may make your search filter unusable, in which case, you may need to create several dynamic groups and add them to a parent group.

One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

Hi!
I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
For starters:
We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply
to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
1. Configured one shared mailbox.
2. Configured multiple distribution groups
3. made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory.
6. Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email.
the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox.
I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account.
I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As what
Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
DWORD: MaxNumExchange
Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)

Looking for Script Exchange-2007: Import-Mailbox Calendar Folder on multiple mailboxes {Distribution Group}

Hi,
I'm looking for a PowerShell script which will import a Calendar events into student's mailbox (Calendar). Those students are located in a distribution group and I would like to target the distribution group; I'm trying to simulate what I want to achieve
in the below code example, I would appreciate if anyone jump in and advise.
$Users = Import-Csv C:\users.csv | ForEach-Object{Get-DistributionGroup -Identity SC-1213} | Import-Mailbox -Identity $Users -PSTFolderPath c:\Calendar.pst -IncludeFolders '\Calendar' -StartDate -EndDate
Much appreciated..
Hussain

The logic doesn't work unless you are using StartDate and EndDate for the period when you change the item. As I said above, StartDate and EndDate are not the times when the meeting starts and ends - they are the times that the item was either added
or modified in the mailbox. Your filter was trying to pull items that were in the future.
And as I also said above, if you import a modified item, the original is
not going to be updated. You will have a duplicate meeting
on the calendar. You would have to remove the original
and import the updated item if this was how you wished to manage the updates. This is not nearly as effective as
sending meeting requests and updating those meetings.
For example, if we do things the way you are doing them, and we add a "Student Appreciation Bonfire" meeting to the calendar for April 12 at "The Quad", we would do the following:
On February 1, you get information for the meeting that needs to be imported
You create this new meeting in the PST calendar - "Student Appreciation Bonfire"; Date April 12, start 8:00 AM, end 12:00 noon; Location The Quad
You import the PST into everyone's calendar
You receive a note on March 12 saying the venue has changed to The River Beach, so you update this meeting in your PST
Since there are other calendar items in the PST, you import the update using StartDate of March 12 and EndDate of March 13 - the date that you changed the item, not the date the item occurs
At this point, all users have two meetings on their calendar - the original and the update
If, instead of doing it this way, you create a Student Actvities Calendar mailbox, you would handle it this way:
On February 1, you get information for the meeting that needs to be imported
You create this new meeting in the Corporate calendar - "Student Appreciation Bonfire"; Date April 12, start 8:00 AM, end 12:00 noon; Location The Quad
You invite everyone to the meeting
You receive a note on March 12 saying the venue has changed to The River Beach, so you update this meeting in that calendar and send out the update
At this point, all users have only the one meeting on their calendar - the update
Using the PST as the source for the meetings would work only for items that
will not be changed - holidays are a good example.

Unable to edit Distribution Group membership via Outlook (works via ECP).

SITUATION: I am attempting to enable the ability for specified users to edit the membership of Exchange 2010 distribution groups via Outlook 2010. I have configured permissions via RBAC for them to be able to do this by following the instructions and
running the script found here:
http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/11/18/453251.aspx
After running the script, users specified as group managers are able to edit group membership through the ECP. But when they attempt to do so via Outlook, they receive the same message that they would see if the permission to edit group membership
was not enabled:
"Changes to the public group membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object."
QUESTION: Does anyone have any idea as to why we are still unable to edit group membership via Outlook, when all the permissions appear to be enabled doing so?
