Create separate dynamic distribution groups for each UPNs domain

Hi All,
we have several UPNs in our Domain and need to create separate distribution groups for each UPNs.
the command that I used is,
new-dynamicdistributiongroup -name GroupName -RecipientFilter {(UserPrincipalName -like‘*@connect.test.local’)}
but this returns an error saying "Exception setting "RecipientFilter": "Invalid filter syntax"
what is the exact way of creating distribution group in O365 by filtering the UPN domain name?
Many thanks

Hi All,

  • Create new dynamic distribution group as filter office location

    Hi
    I want to create new dynamic distribution group as filter office location. So  I would like to request you please suggest the script through Power shell or graphical interface.
    In case you need more clarification please revert back.
    Regards
    Md Ehteshamuddin khan 

    If you don't use OUs to separate your users and use the 'Office' field in Active Directory you can create Dynamic lists for this property as well.
    The Office field, which stores its information in the physicalDeliveryOfficeName attribute of the object, can be referenced to create a list by using this PowerShell command:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name <LIST NAME> -RecipientFilter {office -eq '<OFFICE NAME OR LOCATION>'} -RecipientContainer '<LOCATION OF USERS ALLOWED IN THE LIST>' -OrganizationalUnit '<LOCATION OF WHERE LIST WILL BE STORED IN ACTIVE
    DIRECTORY' -Alias 'LIST ALIAS'
    Tested and verified with Exchange 2010

  • Create Dynamic Distribution Groups Using Customized Filters

    I am looking to create a new Dynamic Distribution List. 
    Example: 
    DL - United States Users ([email protected]) 
    In AD we have the 'Office' field filled accordingly, which contains the attribute USCA___ or USIL (US,California,etc or US, Illinois,etc). 
    I was wanting to try creating these using this command/script; 
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DL - United States Users" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Office -eq 'USCA*')(Office -eq 'USIL*')}
    Assistance here please: 
    1. What needs to be added in that line so that only certain users can email to it, rejecting all others (i.e. The Helpdesk or Corporate Communications)
    2. Is there a way to specify the SMTP address you want it to use? 
    3. Is there a way to have it only add mailboxes that are enabled in AD so disabled mailbox user accounts wont be added? 
    Thanks in advance everyone. 

    Hi,
    We can use the following command to create a Dynamic distribution group:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DL - United States Users" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Office -like
    'US, California' -or (Office -like 'US, Illinois')) -and (UserAccountControl -ne 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount')}
    Then as what ED says, we can use the Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet with AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom or
    AcceptMessagesOnlyFromDLMembers parameter to specify certain users who can send email messages to this dynamic distribution group. And use PrimarySMTPAddress parameter to specify the primary return SMTP email address for the distribution group.
    Hope it helps.

  • Create/Edit "Custom Attributes" in Dynamic Distribution Groups

    Hi,
    I wanna create a Dynamic Distribution Group based on the users "title" and "company".
    I've noticed that there are 15 "Custom Attributes" that I can edit in someway, I guess via PowerShell?
    So what is the easiest way to accomplice this?

    Hi,
    Agree with the above suggestion, you can also bulk change the custom attributes:
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Database Execs | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute1 “title”
    http://dougg.co.nz/2012/05/01/bulk-setting-exchange-2010-custom-attributes/
    to Edit Custom Attributes：
    get-mailbox -filter {customattribute1 -eq ""} | set-mailbox -customattribute1 = "<value>"
    And here is a reference about Create/Edit "Custom Attributes" in Dynamic Distribution Groups：

    Assistance would be greatly appreciated to determine what I am missing.  I have over 100 Dynamic Distribution list to create.
    Cheers

    You're definitely missing a closing curly bracket.
    You have a lot of superfluous parentheses in that expression.  You could certainly simplify it.

  • Dynamic Distribution Group - RecipientContainer ignored

    When i set the container in powershell and confirm that the setting took I then run the preview filter. It is for sure pulling from out side the OU that I set in the container parm. 
    Any help on this issue?
    Proactive security not reactive, lets make it happen.

    Hi,
    From your description, you set the RecipientContainer when you create the dynamic distribution group, but actually it doesn't work. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know. In your case, I recommend you take your time to post the cmdlet
    you use for my further research.

  • Dynamic Distribution Group on HOSTED exchange 2010 not setting up properly

    Hi all,
    We have a hosted exchange 2010, which prevents us from using the EMC.
    I want to create a simple dynamic distribution group for every staff member in the organization but am facing a problem. I use the following command:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Organization "organizationname" -IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers -Name "Office"
    This appears to work according to shell. In addition,
    Get-DynamicDistributionGroup -Organization "organizationname"
    DOES come up with "office" as a listing (though the "Managed by" field is empty. Should I care?)
    However:
    sending to that address creates a bounce-back "no such email address"
    a look in AD shows that the object has been created somewhat incorrectly
    It appears that while a group is nominatively created no email address is created attached to it (which should be [email protected]).
    I am by no means a shell expert and have been bumping my head for a few days now, any suggestion would be great!
    Thanks in advance,
    Rodolphe

    Hey, thanks for your reply Willard.
    Everything looks correct:
    name: Office
    Alias: Office
    PrimarySmtpAddress: [email protected]
    EmailAddressPolicyEnabled: False
    The bounceback now is quoting a permissions issue
    #< #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 RESOLVER.RST.AuthRequired; authentication required> #SMTP#
    This actually gives me the clues to resolve:
    When creating a distribution group through the EMC, by default it is "closed" so only members of that DDL can send to it. I have tested this by sending to it from an internal address and it does go through.
    Set-DynamicDistributionGroup <name> -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False
    resolves the issue to allow external senders.
    Thanks for your help Willard, your question was enough to get me going in the right direction. Hopefully some other newbie will find this useful in the future.

  • 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.

  • Dynamic Distribution Groups - Message Delivery Restrict to Security Group

    Hi,
    I have created a dynamic distribution group and want to restrict mail delivery to only accept messages from members of a security group.  How do I achieve this?
    The idea is the DDG's are set with their criteria and if anyone leaves/joins the relevant SG then they will have permission to send to those DDG's.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    In exchange management console it is very simple to provide the access.Please follow steps.
    1.Open the Exchange Management Console (EMC)
    2.Locate the distribution list .
    3.Right-click on it and select Properties
    4.Open the Mail Flow Settings tab
    4.Select Message Delivery Restrictions
    5.Then select the option only senders in the following list and add the DL that you would like to provide access to send email to that group.

  • Cannot create to distribution group for a tenant on hosted exchange 2010

    Hi,
    In order to narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend you can try the following troubledhooting:
    1.  Check if the distribution group exists in ADUC on your DC server. And you can refer to the following path:
    DC>ADUC>Domain.com>users
    2. Create another distribution group to have a test.
     I refer to the following article to create a new distribution group, and it works well:

  • How to create Exchange dynamic distribution list using multivalue extension custom attribute

    I am trying to create a dynamic distribution list using an ExtensionCustomAttribute.  I am in hybrid mode with Exchange 2013.  The syntax I have is this: 
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {(ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')} 
    This works correctly on-prem.  But hosted always results in an empty list.  I can see in dirsync the attribute is in the hosted environment, but for whatever reason, the distribution group gets created but always come up null.
    If I create a group looking at the single valued attributes, such as CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y', it works correctly on-prem and hosted.  
    If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

    I don't think I provided enough information about the problem.  Let me add some and see if it makes sense.
    I have an Exchange 2013 on-premise configured in hybrid mode with Office365.  For testing purposes, I have 2 users, Joe and Steve, one with the mailbox on-prem, and the other with the mailbox in the cloud.  Each of them has CustomAttribute6 = 'Y'
    and ExtensionCustomAttribute2 = 'NH'. Dirsync shows these users and these attributes are synced between on-prem and cloud.
    Using on-prem Exchange powershell, I run the following command:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')} 
    This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them as follows:
    $DDG = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup DG_NH
    Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DDG.RecipientFilter | FT alias
    So I then delete this DG, and recreate it this time looking at the multi-value attribute ExtensionCustomAttribute2, as follows:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')} 
    Replaying the query above, I can see this also works fine and finds my two users.
    Next I open a new powershell and connect to Office 365 and repeat the process there.
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')} 
    This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them.
    And then delete the group and recreate it using the multi-value attribute:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')} 
    When I run the query this time it produces no result.  Every test I try results in an empty group if I am using a multi-valued attribute in the search criteria in the cloud.  If I use single valued attribute, it works fine.
    I really need to be able to get multi-valued DDG's working in the cloud.  If anyone has done this and has any suggestions, I would appreciate seeing what you did.  And if this is the wrong forum to port this, if you can point me to a more suitable
    forum I will report there.
    Thanks,
    Richard

  • Unable to create working dynamic distribution list based on manager

    Hi,
    I am struggling to create a working dynamic distribution group. I am following the instructions at http://help.outlook.com/en-gb/140/Dd264647.aspx.
    My intent is to create DDG's based on a user's manager and their job title. In my org, sales managers will typically have 3 teams reporting to them. In our AD, this would be marked by a 3-4 letter acronym in the job title field (CSO,DCO,SDCO).
    I am trying to create distribution groups for use by their manager by having the manager and job title item as the filter, using the following script:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "GROUPNAME" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (manager -eq 'Managername') -and (title -eq 'ACRONYM')}
    As an aside, I am unable to find if the manager object should be an alias, upn or ad object. I've tried with all with no success.
    No matter what permutations of the above script I try, nothing seems to work. The group creates, but does not work at all.
    Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated!

    Hi Ed,
    I did try that, and as it turned out, I was using the wrong powershell from the start.
    The commands above are for Office 365, not on-prem Exchange 2013. Having spoken to Microsoft, it seems like the AD object for manager may not be a filterable option at all, I'm waiting to hear back.
    If this can help jog anyone's mind, the commands we're looking towards now look something like this:
    New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "testname" -Alias "testname" -IncludedRecipients "MailboxUsers,MailContacts" -OrganizationalUnit "domain.local/users" -ConditionalDepartment "Test" -RecipientContainer "domain.local"
    We're still looking for a filter for manager in there, and I'll update the thread if I get anything worthy of note. Bear in mind that it's going to be difficult to settle for anything less than the manager object to filter by, as our requirements pretty
    much demand it.
    Thanks all.
