Cannot create distribution groups in OWA

Hi all,
Have just transitioned to Exchange 2013. Users who use OWA now cannot create distribution groups. They use IE11 on Windows 7 and are using the standard (not the light version) of OWA.
When in the 'People' pane of OWA there is only the option to add a new contact (as in screenshot below). There is no option to add a group. Desktop users of Outlook are fine.
Anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
thanks

Hi,
Agree with Martina. I checked in my lab, in Exchange 2013 RTM, there is no option to create the contact group. In Exchange 2013 CU1, under People, click on +new, you will see the followings:
If you want that functionality, you need to update your Exchange server to at least Exchange 2013 CU1.
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]"

Cannot create a group with no members through DAS

I'm using OID 10.1.2.0.2.
It seems that the DAS Self Service Console cannot work with groups with no members:
- When creating a group, it always assigns orcladmin as a member.
- When deleting the last member from a group, an error is shown ("Require at least one user or group member").
- If you create an empty group via other means (e.g. the oidadmin tool), the group will not be visible in the "role assignment" section when creating a new user (even though we enabled that group for role assignment in the "user entry" configuration). After adding one member through the "edit group" page, the role shows up in the role assignment section.
I have a couple of questions regarding this:
1) Is this limitation (group must have at least one member) an ldap or OID limitation, or is it only a DAS or even "self service console" limitation?
2) Why is this limitation there?
3) Is there a way to work around this, i.e. make self service console be able to handle empty groups?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Johan

I do not agree that a group owner should be a member of that group. For example, I have a group "admins" and a group "analysts". The "admins" group is owner of the "analysts" group, since the users in the "admins" group must be able to create users and assign them to the "analysts" group. However, the "admins" group is not member of the "analysts" group, because I do not want the admins to act as analysts in my application. Ownership of a group (being able to manage it) and membership of a group are two different things. Besides, I also do not understand why the OIDDAS makes the orcladmin user a member of every group that you create there.
Of course, eventually I will have members in my group. But why is it a problem that there are initially no members of a group? I see no reason at all why this would be a problem.
The reason why I ask this is that creating an empty group (initially) is a requirement of my setup process. I am trying to release a clean setup script (with an ldif file) out of development, that our operational department can use to set things up. I want my ldif file to prepare all the necessary groups and owners, but not to create members in those groups (that's the task of the operational people).
However, as soon as I have these empty groups in place, the OIDDAS starts to act strangely (namely, the groups are not visible in the "role assignment" section when creating a user, until there is at least one member in the groups). That's when I found out that the OIDDAS actually does not like having empty groups (error when creating group without members, error when removing last member, ...).
If anyone knows, can you give me one good reason why the OIDDAS does not allow empty groups (or making groups empty)? As far as I can see, the OID/LDAP itself does not have a problem with this (you can create an empty group without any problem via the oidadmin application, or via import of an ldif file).
Thanks,

Cannot create record group

All,
I have one form. I have When-new-block-instance trigger on first
block, which populate list of values for first item in block(
Using Create_group_from_query and populate_group builtins). If I
run form on NT it works fine but while I put form on web -
inshort running through Solaris it gives me error "Record Group
cannot created."
Any clue,
Any answer appreciated.

Hi,
Move the code to form level, for ex. WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE.
I guess Oracle Forms Server did't have enough time to populate
the record group and arrange items in the block at the same
time, or it failed to coordinate that.
Everything is a bit slower on the web.
Hope this helps

Cannot create protection groups from Azure Portal

Trying to setup Azure Site Recovery. Have successfully added the Hyper-V Sites and installed the provider and applied the registration key. Both servers show green.
The issue is when moving to the next step in the process of creating a Protection Group. I click create new protection group and the normal drop down list and options do not show up. I get an error saying "An
error occurred while retrieving the required data for this view." I have tried logging off and on trying different browsers (Chrome, IE, Mozilla) with same results. Have also tried multiple computers and servers same result.
I have looked up the PowerShell commands to try to find how to create the protection group from PowerShell but no luck finding specific command.
For now I am going to try to delete the sites, vault, and create everything from scratch.
<button aria-label="Replication Settings" class="fx-balloonicon-button" type="button"></button>

Hello,
Please can you share the following detail with me
1) Go to the Jobs view of the ASR Vault & find the jobs which were run during the Registration of both your servers.
2) Drill into the job and from the properties page please send us the JobId.
We will need this information to understand what could have potentially gone wrong with the Vault.

Distribution group not showing in 2nd exchange server

Hi there.
EXCHANGE2010 (1) in domain1
EXCHANGE2010 (2) in domain2
If we create distribution group thru EXCHANGE2010(1) with domain2 name, that group is visible immediatelly in EXCHANGE2010(2) but it is not visible in EXCHANGE2010(1) until couple of hours.
Where to look for the root of problems? Could this be some active directory sync problems or anything else?
bostjanc

Hi Bostjanc,
Please add "-DC" parameter to the command as below when you get the distribution group via EMS:
Get-DistributionGroup -DC domaincontrollername
Repeat it on the DCs in two sites and compare the results.

Set Send to permissions on distribution groups through powershell

We have an Exchange 2013 environment on which we have created distribution groups with powershell.
However I can't figure out how we can configure the "send to" permissions for these distribution groups.
What we want is for Exchange to look at CustomAttribute3 in a user account, and if that attribute meets the set requirements the user will have permission to send mail to this distribution group.
Can anyone help me with this issue? Is there a powershell command I can use to configure this?
kind regards,
kevin

Hi kevin,
You can use the following cmdlet to configure the distribution group to accept messages only from the specific users.
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity "DGName" -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom "xxx","xxx"
What's more, I am afraid that the -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom parameter does not accept the custom attribute. Your understanding will be appreciated.

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.

Assign Group Permission to Distribution Group

I have a Distribution Group in AD and i want to assign permission to same in SharePoint. But i am not able to get that group in people picker. However, i am able to fetch the Security Group from AD to SharePoint.
Please advice.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Hi Avni,
Since you are posting the thread to SharePoint 2013 forum, so I assume you are using SharePoint 2013. Below is to help you understand Distribution group and Security group:
Security group A group that can be listed in DACLs. A security group can also be used as an e-mail entity.
Distribution group A group that is used only for e-mail distribution and that is not security-enabled. Distribution groups cannot be listed in discretionary access control lists (DACLs), which are used to define permissions
on resources and objects.
You can use security groups to control permissions for your site by adding security groups to SharePoint groups and granting permissions to the SharePoint groups.
You cannot add distribution groups to SharePoint groups, but you can expand a distribution group and add the individual members to a SharePoint group. If you use this method, you must manually keep the SharePoint group synchronized with the distribution
group.
If you use security groups, you do not need to manage the individual users in the SharePoint application. Because you included the security group instead of the individual members of the group, AD DS manages the users for you.
I'd recommend you using Security group for SharePoint related permission settings instead of Distribution group.
