Disable ability to IM a distribution list

Good afternoon,
Our users have figured out how to IM an entire distribution list in Lync. I have been researching and can't seem to find an answer. Is there a way to disable this?

Hi,
Base on my knowledge, it is impossible to disable the function to IM an entire distribution list in Lync.

"changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. you do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object"

Running Exchange 2010/latest updates on Windows 2008 R2 servers.
When I create a new DL that I want someone to manage, they received the following message when trying to add/remove from the DL:
"changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. you do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object"
I have followed everything in "http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/11/18/453251.aspx" with no luck
Any suggestions?

Piggybacking off of the discussion above, with our deployment of Exchange 2007, we created a set of web-based tools that allowed people to create Exchange Resources including distribution lists. To allow multiple people to manage the lists for a given
department, we programmatically created a group, which is populated with one or more users from the "resource department". We then set the following AD permissions to allow members of the group to manage membership of departmental distribution lists:
Add-ADPermission -User DepartmentalGroup -AccessRights ReadProperty, WriteProperty -Properties 'Member' -DomainController dc.contoso.com
Fast forward to Exchange 2010 and the landscape has changed with Exchange 2010's implementation of Role Based Access Control and I'm struggling to come up with a way to programmatically allow a group of users to manage distribution list membership for a
subset of distribution lists - note that we have approximately 75 departments, with each having its own set of coordinators who should be able to manage distribution lists for their department but not lists created by other departments. The specific
error we receive in Outlook when attempting to modify group membership is the same as the title of this thread - "Changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object".
I implemented the settings referred to at
http://sysadmin-talk.org/2010/06/omg-allowing-end-users-to-manage-distribution-group-membership-in-exchange-2010-2/ which details the process of creating a new management role and revoking the role's ability to create new distribution lists and remove distribution
lists (which we want because we want those actions to be performed using our web tools).
All that to say that the ultimate problem we have is that the above relies on the "ManagedBy" field of a distribution list (viewable by Get-DistributionList Listname | fl *ManagedBy*) to determine group ownership. When "ManagedBy" is set to a user,
the user CAN edit a distribution list's membership from Outlook and OWA. When "ManagedBy" is set to a group, members of the group are UNABLE to edit the membership of the distribution list via Outlook or Outlook Web Access/ECP. Furthermore,
Set-DistributionGroup does not allow you to specify a list of users to assign to the ManagedBy field. However, if "ManagedBy" was set to a specific user and that user logs in to the Exchange Control Panel and adds additional "owners" of the distribution
list, which I can then see from EMS - both the original owner and any additional owners added can in turn modify group membership for the list using Outlook or Outlook Web Access/ECP.
My questions:
1) Is it "expected" behavior that while I can assign a group to the "ManagedBy" property of distribution list, members of that group are still unable to edit the group membership? ...or is there a fix for the behavior I'm seeing?
2) Can multiple values be assigned to the "ManagedBy" property when using Set-DistributionList - ex: Set-DistributionList DLName -ManagedBy:user1,user2
3) Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

GroupWise Distribution Lists

Hi,
I was asked by my supervisor to ensure that only internal email clients can send to GroupWise distribution lists, and they cannot send email to GroupWise distribution lists via external email account.
Most of the distribution list has a space between full distribution name. and I was under the impression that as long as there are spaces, it's not a valid SMTP name and no one will be able to send it. Tested with external account (hotmail) and could not send to Distribution lists with spaces as it bounced back as invalid email address.
However, he informed me that problem is there is an option to allow substituting the space with a "." and it works.
I re-tested with a "." between the spaces and it still bounced back, is there anything else I should/could try to ensure that email from external accounts can be sent to GW distribution lists.
Are there no access control lists for distribution groups that we could use here?
Thanks.

You can disable receiving external emails to distribution lists entirely
in the GWIA. "Expand groups on incoming messages" is the setting.
Disable that, and all distribution lists are unreachable from the internet.

How to filter disabled accounts out of Dynamic Distribution Groups/Lists?

As far as I understand it, OPATH does not support bitwise and/or flags, so excluding disabled accounts from dynamic distribution lists is impossible, unless I am missing something super simple.
Many have found what they believe to be a valid solution by using -not(UserAccountControl -eq 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount') in their filter, but this only equates to "anything NOT with a UserAccountControl value of 514 (integer)". Simply
adding "password does not expire" option on the account breaks that filter even if the account is disabled.
Further, it appears anytime you create an OPATH filter, Exchange does create an LDAP equivalent filter that can be read, however it seems you cannot directly edit the LDAPRecipientFilter. If I could, I could put in the necessary bitwise operation needed
for this, e.g. (!UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2), but it doesn't seem possible.
Unfortunately I cannot rely on the ExchangeUserAccountControl flag as that relates to just hiding from Address Lists, and I have disabled accounts that need to be in the GAL. Further I have active mailboxes for disabled AD accounts so I cannot use IsMailboxDisabled.
Is this by design? If so I don't understand why. Are there any options (even with Exchange 2013)?

Hi Simon. Thanks for your response.
I'm not sure what additional information I can provide that I have not already regarding the my suggestion/requirement, short of re-stating my original query.
With Exchange 2003, we could simply exclude disabled accounts from dynamic distribution lists via the use of an LDAP filter that used bitwise logic against the UserAccountControl attribute, e.g.
(!UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)
With Exchange 2007, direct LDAP queries were deprecated in favor of OPATH. Unfortunately as a result, we can no longer filter out disabled accounts because OPATH does not support bitwise logic -xor -xand, etc. Because of this we can no longer
effectively use the UserAccountControl flags to exclude disabled accounts. We can use this attribute by specifying explicit combinations of flags, e.g.
UserAccountControl -ne 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount'
But because this attribute is a culmination of bits representing many different account options, there are a large number of combinations of values that could include Disabled Accounts whereby a filter such as above would NOT work. E.g. simply adding
an option to not expire the password on the account renders the filter above invalid.
Currently our only option is to use workarounds which are not very effective (e.g. using a different attribute to store information about disabled accounts and filter on that instead). As accounts can be disabled simply with a right-click in ADUC,
enforcing the use of an additional attribute is not effective.
I would like to understand why OPATH excludes this functionality, e.g. is it a design decision? Or is it simply an oversight? Further I'd like to see this functionality added.

How to set up text distribution list

I found out how to set up an email distribution list without buying an app but now I need to know how to do the same with sending texts, without buying an app and by associating a contact to it. I don't want to send a group text and only access that group by pulling up the text screen. All I want to do is assign a few numbers to a group name and use that group name to send a next message to the recipients. Any ideas?

Since a phone number field in Contacts does not have the ability to delineate between numbers, probably not. Theoretically, I suppose it could work if applied for recipients getting iMessages AND using email as the receive address, but hard to say. But for SMS texting, no.

Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected] and so on …..)
We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group. I know this will work.
Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses (Not the IT department)
There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list?
Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
anyway so why don’t from the start...
I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...
Though here is the more specific article on how to delegate creating and editing contacts...

Any way to not include the sender on their own email if they're in a distribution list?

Howdy,
If my team has an email distribution list, and I need to email everyone else on the team, is there any way to set something so that the person sending the email doesn't get their own email back if they are on the list they are sending to?
Currently, if I send an email to our "IT" list, and I'm on the "IT" list, I get a copy of my own email sent back to me. This seems silly to me. I know I've used some program in the past that was smart enough not to do that
but I don't recall if Exchange/Outlook has the ability to not do that.
Thanks.

An outlook rule or hub transport rule to delete messages sent from you should do it. In the old Exchange/Outlook days, it didnt do that, yes.

Well, I'd want to do this globally at our company, not just for myself.
I dont think there is any easy way to do that then.

Link between SAPConnect and SO23 Distribution List Settings for CCMS Alerts

Hi All,
We have CCMS email Alerts configured for around 90 systems adminsitered through a CUA SOlMan 4.0 System.
We are not receiving these emails after the SolMan 4.0 System was Patched for Java.
All the settings seem to be fine. We are not able to figure out how the Distribution List for external email Ids(RZ20, RZ21) is connected with SAPConnect SMTP settings.
Please advise.
Immediate help is greatly appreciated

Expand (deploy) distribution lists not working Outlook 2013 + Outlook Mac 15.9

I try to figure out how to expand (deploy) the distribution lists in both Outlook 2013 (Windows) and Outlook for Mac 15 (Apple). Actually it's extremely weird because it work randomly... We mainly uses Outlook for Mac 15.9 in the Office and some people (only
a few ones) actually see a blue down-pointing arrow in from of the Distribution Lists when they are it to the "TO" field in Outlook for Mac 15.9. Then if they click on it, the list are deploying and been replaced by employees in the list. On Outlook
2013 for Windows, there's NO WAY to get the small "+" sign in front of the distribution list... FYI, the same person who can deploy on Outlook for Mac 15, can't deploy on Outlook 2013 for Windows.
I already eliminate a lack of permission somewhere in my Exchange Online manager, because I am the "owner" of distribution list and I can't expand (deploy) it anyway in Outlook 2013 and I tried to promote somewhere else as the "owner" and
it doesn't make him/her able to expand any more.
FYI I created few distribution lists in my Exchange Online admin into the "GROUP" section, they are all Dynamics Distribution Lists and as I told you, some people can deploy (well, 99.9% of peoples CAN'T deploy lists, but a few CAN do it, 0.01% of
employees).
I checked carefully in the distribution list settings on Exchange Online admin portal, but there's not much settings I can change...
The point is I MUST get the deploy feature to work with the distribution list because SEVERAL TIMES a week administration teams need to send email to all employees but while excluding a few of them, so they need to be able to deploy the dynamic list, then remove
manually the 2-3 peoples from the recipients list. As you can see on my screenshot, there's a few people where the blue arrows are working (Outlook for Mac 15.9)...

Hi,
Please follow these steps: -
If
RoomFinderShow = 0 under registry path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
The Room Finder behaves the following ways when you start Outlook: -
The Room Finder is not shown by default on the
Appointment tab.
You can manually enable the Room Finder on the
Appointment tab.
If you open a new meeting from after enabling the Room Finder in another meeting room, the Room Finder is not shown by default on the
Appointment tab of the new meeting form.
If you manually enables and then disable the Room Finder on the
Appointment tab, nothing is written into the registry.
When you have the required update installed and
RoomFinderForceDisabled=1, Outlook will not display the Room Finder pane on either the Scheduling Assistant tab or the Appointment tab in a meeting form.

Contacts - |Syn Distribution List

Syning Outlook Contacts to iphone Distribution List (Mail Groups)do not syn.
Is there a solution to syning these.

Hey pl7626,
Unfortunately there is no way to view the details of the contacts with the distribution list. The user could setup groups on the device, this would allow them to send to group of people and give them the ability to edit and veiw the details.

Creating distribution lists in SAP CRM 5.0 business workplace

Hi Experts,
We have CRM 5.0 and I have tried to create distribution lists for
mailsending.
After defining a name and a folder (that is then created) for the
list the recipient list insertion is a following task.
I can search for partners of different type by F4 help but no
matter the type of the partner searched - the type that is
automatically entered to the lists recipents table is "shared
distribution list". even though the desired type is among others
in a list other values cannot be selected.
Please help, is this a setting that can be undone or what might
be a problem in the procedure that i use in creating a list?
has anyone else had similar problems?
Thank You so much,

i have received an answer from SAP:
"The reason for the error is a wrong entry in table TBCS_RECIP. To removethis entry, please use the report which is entered in the description
of note 735795 or delete the wrong entry direct on table TBCS_RECIP.
After the run of the report or the deletion on table TBCS_RECIP you willnot find further the selection option 'Business Partner' on the F4 help."
The entry was removed and for Lists business partners cannot be selected at all - as a standard. really sad endeed.
