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 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.

Two Exchange accounts mysteriously assigned to same OST file

I have a challenge that I have been fighting for about a year. We have users that have exchange mailboxes on two different exchange servers (not on the same network, in two completely different locations).
For the sake of example, lets call the user Mary and her email addresses are [email protected] and [email protected].
I can configure the first mailbox just fine. The problem begins when I add the 2nd mailbox. Using cached exchange, the first account creates an OST file called "[email protected]" in the normal, default location.
Once I add the 2nd exchange account, the accounts box shows that the 2nd account is also using the same ost file as the first account. In other words, the "Selected account delivers new messages to the following location:" is the SAME
for both accounts!
When I launch Outlook, the splash screen shows it's setting up the mailbox for the first time, but once it comes up, there is only one mailbox listed, the first one. I have tried about a hundred different ways of setting this up, and get various
results. Sometimes I will get both mailboxes in Outlook, but the 2nd mailbox contains the same items as the first. In other words, it says it's [email protected], but the contents is actually from [email protected]. Other times, I get the "Temporary
mailbox -- your mailbox has moved" dialog box on startup.
I've tried going into the 2nd account and manually changing the cache mode OST file to a new file, but I wind up with a blank mailbox in Outlook with no folders and it never updates. The same thing happens whether I use Outlook Anywhere or
not. I should also note that we have a VPN between two server networks so that server names are accessible without Outlook Anywhere.
This does not just affect "Mary". It happens for any user that has a mailbox on domain1 and domain2. I have gotten around the issue in the past by changing the account name for the user on one of the servers, changing the username
"Mary" to "MSmith", for example. But lately, changing the username on the server for the users doesn't always work.
I want to also add that when I have managed to get the "accounts" box to correctly show the correct OST files for each account (after adding the 2nd account but before launching Outlook), once I launch Outlook and see that there is only
one mailbox displayed, I look in the accounts box again and see the 2nd account OST file is the same as the first.
There seems to be something about these two accounts that is confusing Outlook. HELP!
Thanks.

Hi,
Please disable using Exchange Cached mode in Outlook and start Outlook in Online mode to check whether the second mailbox is shown there.
I suggest we can configure two Exchange accounts in two Outlook profiles respectively. Then check whether the email goes to one mailbox or not.

I had tried that before, but wasn't sure of the outcome, so I just tried it again. I added the second exchange account to the profile, unchecked the Cached Exchange mode, and started Outlook. Both email addresses show up as "branches"
in Outlook, but they have the same content. The top one is correct, and the 2nd one says it's the email address of the 2nd account, but all the folders are copies of the first account. I quit Outlook and go back into account settings and look and
even though cached exchange mode is still turned off, it shows that messages are delivered to the OST file used in the first account. Weird...
Keep in mind, it's not just this one user or computer. So it's not about needing to reinstall Outlook, etc. I think, somehow, it has to do with the username being the same in both Exchange accounts, but I can't pinpoint that being the cause.

Signing, encrypting in Outlook 2010 with two Exchange accounts in profile

Hi all!
I have two Exchange accounts aimed at two different servers in my profile. In Outlook 2011 for Mac this works as advertised, but in Outlook 2010 for Windows Outlook is never able to distinguish between the two certificates and e-mail addresses. It will always
use the last added certificate, regardless of auto select, default select or manual select.
I have two different named security settings in trust center, each with the correct certificate for the e-mail address. I have seen people do this with Outlook 2013 but I have failed with 2010.
In another thread here it is stated that the signing setting (and encryption setting) is profile specific. That is fine by me as I want to sign from both accounts, but from what I understand, if you have two named security settings Outlook should choose the
right one based on the e-mail address. That does not work...
Any ideas?
All the best,
Per

Hi,
If we have multiple accounts in a profile then it has to be manual process to add the certificate when sending emails. There is no automated way.
You can turn off e-mail address matching for certificates by editing your registry, try if this can help in this issue:

Two Exchange Accounts

Hi all,
I wonderd if anyone can tell me if you can set up two Exchange accounts on the new IPhone 3GS
Jon

It certainly isn't a limitation of the licensed ActiveSync to only allow one active Exchange account.
Both Google and Palm have licensed ActiveSync normally, and permit as many Exchange accounts (with full push email, calendar, and contact integration for each) on their Android 2.0+ and WebOS devices respectively.
So I am curious why Apple doesn't allow a second, or additional, Exchange accounts on the iPhone OS. Hopefully a featuring coming in OS 3.2 or OS 4.0.

Two gmail accounts set up in outlook thru google sync. how can i see both of them in reading dashboard. I want to see bothe accounts with all folders on dashboard

Hi,
Since the issue is on Outlook through Google Apps Sync, I don't have the environment to test it for you, the support that I can provide is limited.
Anyway, I still want to know, what did you refer to by "dashboard"? Do you mean the Navigation Pane on the left side?

Managing Distribution Groups with hidden membership (when hideDLMembership is true)

Hi All,
I have a
situation in a Exchange 2010 SP2 messaging environments where we want to manage two distribution groups through Outlook client and want to ensure that its membership is visible to none but the distribution group owners.
I have followed this article "http://blogs.technet.com/b/kamleshk/archive/2013/08/22/3478284.aspx" but in my case the owner can't see the membership.
The Outlook client version is 2007.
I have enabled "MyDistributionGroups" in the default role assignment policy to enable Distribution Group management by end users.
We use Outlook Anywhere but I have tried to add the registry Key "DS Server" but no way.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Simone,
How about in OWA?
If OWA works well, it should be an issue on the Outlook Client side.
If OWA not works neither, it still the permission issue. It need sometimes to sync the operation.
Please run following command to verify the owner permission:
Get-DistributionGroup -Indentity DGName | FL

Unable to manage Distribution list membership since moving from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010

Hi,
We have recently started migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. One of our customers used to be able to manage a security group through the outlook address book. This is a mail enabled security group where the customer is on
the "Managed by" entry and the "Manager can update membership list" is ticked.
Now that the users mailbox has been migrated to Exchange 2010, if they try and modify the membership using outlook by finding the group in the address book 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".
I have now added a test account to the managed by entry on the security group to test the problem.
I have followed the article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/11/18/3408844.aspx that explains how to use the EMS to give users the right to amend groups that users own. I did not run the script but entered the following commands:
New-ManagementRole -name “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test” -parent MyDistributionGroups
Remove-ManagementRoleEntry “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test\New-DistributionGroup” -confirm:$false
Remove-ManagementRoleEntry “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test\Remove-DistributionGroup” -confirm:$false
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -name “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test-Default Role Assignment Pol” -role “MyDistributionGroupsManagement_Test” -policy “Default Role Assignment Policy”
All appears to have worked ok and I have seen no errors while doing this
If I use OWA and then use the ECP, I can now see the "Public groups I own" but no groups are listed.
I have created some new distribution groups in Exchange 2010 (One dist list and one security group) to test and added the test account as an owner of both and a member of both. I still cannot amend the membership using outlook address book and the
ECP still shows no groups under "Public Groups I own"
I have seen a number of articles on how to do this and it looks like I am doing everything right and it has worked for plenty of other people. I just don't know what's going wrong.
I would be very grateful if anyone can help.
Matt

Hi Rajith,
I deleted the outlook profile and recreated it but this did not work.
I have now created a brand new mailbox on Exchange 2010 added this to the "managed by" section of the Exchange 2010 dist lists and I still get the error. I also do not see the groups listed when logging in as that user to OWA ECP and clicking on the
Groups link.
I had a look at the link you sent me and I could see that from the Exchange server when I opened the User roles to get to the ECP, clicked on Roles and Auditing and then User Roles the only policy applied is "Default role assignment". When I select
the details for this, under Distribution groups, "My Distribution Groups" is not ticked but my new one that I created "My DistributionGroupsManagement_Test" is. So this looks ok.
Any other ideas?

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.

Cannot send to Distribution Group emails from outside exchange

Hi,
I have created several emails linked to distribution groups in Exchange 2007. When i email to these groups from an email hosted on the server the email goes through just fine. When I try to send to these emails from an external email address (one from hotmail or yahoo) the email is never received and I never get a message back saying anything went wrong. I am able to receive email to all normal user accounts. I know it was possible in Exchange 2003 to have group emails receive email from outside sources, as I used several group emails as logins at various forums, and received updates from them.
Am I missing some point of the setup? I have all domains open to be received from, hence why I can receive to my normal user email address. Any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks

Hello Scotty,
When you create any distribution list with Exchange Management Console - EMC or Exchange management Shell - EMS in 2007 by default Sender Authentication is Enabled to prevent unwanted messages from spam and from outside domain, this is by default in design...
You need to disable it to get email from outside.
From EMC: Recipient Configuration -> Distribution Groups -> Select a group -> Properties -> Mail Flow Settings -> Message Delivery Restrictions -> Properties -> Untick “Require that all senders are authenticated”
From EMS: Distribution List not getting mails from outside - NDR 5.1.1

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?

Only receive distribution group- mails when logged on.

Hi,
Is there a way to automatically disable mail-receiving for users when they are not logged on to the AD?
We use distribution groups to deliver mails to platform-agents.
Most of them only need to receive mails when they are at work.
Thanks for your ideas,

Hi Tester, sorry about the delay in response. I would like to understand your issue more and what you are trying to achieve.
Does the users need to receive emails sent to a distribution group (that they are part of) only during 8am to 5 pm? something like that?
The answer really depends on the setup that you have but for the most part, emails sent to Exchange and immediately processed and delivered to the respective mailboxes. Perhaps you can schedule email delivery from the outlook client - when someone is sending
the original email to the distribution.

Distribution Group Membership - Find and Replace.

Hello,
I am looking for a way in Powershell to return the distribution groups that a user is a member of. Using that information I'd ideally like to replace that user with another, or remove that user from all groups, then add another to those same groups. *EDIT*
This is needed for Exchange Online and is not linked with AD.
Is this possible?

Hi,
Yes, you can do that. Take a look at these cmdlets for a starting point/examples:
http://ss64.com/ps/get-adprincipalgroupmembership.html
http://ss64.com/ps/add-adprincipalgroupmembership.html
http://ss64.com/ps/remove-adprincipalgroupmembership.html
http://ss64.com/ps/get-adgroupmember.html
http://ss64.com/ps/add-adgroupmember.html
http://ss64.com/ps/remove-adgroupmember.html
Let us know if you run into problems or have any specific questions.
EDIT: I should mention, these are AD cmdlets, not Exchange specific.

Automatic rules to Internal distribution group failing when authentication is enabled

Hi Forum,
I have set up a rule on a user's PC whereby when he ([email protected]) receives an external email (from [email protected]), it should be automatically forwarded to a
distribution group ([email protected]) with cc to
[email protected] and
[email protected] .
This worked well for some time until recently when it started failing. The only way we can get this working again is when we disable authentication to the distribution group ([email protected] ). We do not want
this disabled as we don't want the outside world to Spam this distribution group. No changes has been made to the system which could have caused this issue.
Is there a way to get this rule working without disabling the authentication?
Cheers
Arvind
