Exchange 2013 -Distribution Group

Hi … Let me explain my issues here. I am the Part of DL called Itadmins in exchange server 2013. When ever I send a mail to itadmins I am getting copy of the mail back to me again. Is this expected behavior in exchange server 2013 ?
Regards, Srinivasu.Muchcherla

That's the expected behavior in any Exchange version... A message sent to a distribution group is delivered to all users that belongs to that DL including sender...

Can't uninstall Exchange 2013 - (Distribution groups)

I need help uninstalling Exchange 2013. The uninstaller fails with these 2 errors:
This computer is responsible for expanding the membership of 1 distribution groups. These groups must be reassigned to another server before Setup can continue.
This computer is responsible for expanding the membership of 1 dynamic distribution groups. These groups must be reassigned to another server before Setup can continue.
I've gone so far as to disabling all distribution groups which removes its email properties and the uninstaller still fails.
This is what happens in the eventlog:
System.Management.Automation.ParseException: At line:1 char:67
+ Get-DynamicDistributionGroup | where {$_.ExpansionServer -eq '/o='s-Hertogenbosc ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unexpected token 's-Hertogenbosch/ou=Exchange' in expression or statement.

I'm sure what happens here is the powershell commands looking at the distribution groups fail, because of our city name ('s-Hertogenbosch). Because of the apostrophe, the parameter is not passed successfully of this legacyExchangeDN. As this check fails,
I believe the readiness check fails on these steps.
This legacy administrative group name is still left from a 2003 -> 2010 -> 2013 migration.
I've opened a Microsoft support request for this last week, but I thought someone might have dealt with this? I want to do a clean uninstall if possible.

After I removed the distribution groups, I did restart the server.
The problem is the the powershell script to check for existing distribution groups use a single quote to pass the server name to it. The server name contains a single quote itself so the parameter is not passed successfully. If the powershell script
used a double quote it would pass the parameter correctly.
This works:
Get-DistributionGroup | where ExpansionServer -eq "/o='s-Hertogenbosch/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=CADEXCDB13"
This does not work:
Get-DistributionGroup | where ExpansionServer -eq '/o='s-Hertogenbosch/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=CADEXCDB13'
Do you see the difference? (Parameter is passed in a single or double quotation)

Exchange 2013 - Delivery Groups, Routable DAGs and Delivery Queues

Hey Team,
I am trying to better understand Exchange 2013 Delivery Groups and Boundaries. I think I have it almost figured out, I reviewed this article here which helped clear it up for me:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/planning-architecture/exchange-2013-mail-flow-part2.html
I need to understand the difference between and exchange 2013 delivery and how a delivery is group is different from the way that Exchange 2010 routed mail.
For some reason I am just not getting the differences between 2013 and 2010 in terms of message delivery.
Thanks,

Hi,
In Exchange 2013 there are only two roles, while five roles in Exchange 2010. There is difference between Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 on mail delivery.
The following articles can help you to understand the difference of mail delivery between Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013.

Can't add or remove members from an exchange 2010 distribution group

Hello.
i have exchange 2010 SP1. When i connect to the server with administrator login in the EMC, i can't add or remove members from distribution group. I don t understand why because i am admin. I have this error : "You
do not have sufficient permissions. This operation can be performed by a group leader"
how i can change this. I wan t only admin can edit members group
hanks for help

Hi,
If you have checked the permission, I suggest you checking the Membership Approval configuration.
1. Closed the option “owner approval is required to join the group”
2. Open the option “anyone can leave this group without being approved by the group owners”
To do this, follow the details at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125178.aspx

Assistance with distribution group behavior

We have a new Exchange 2013 server. So far, we are happy with it, except for this one issue with distribution groups.
On our old, non-Microsoft mail server, we had mailing lists. When someone sent an email to the list, the members of the list would receive an email that was listed as "From:
[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]". We like this behavior because it allows people to easily see who the messages posted on a mailing list came from, but when hitting reply,
the reply would go back to the mailing list, and ***NOT*** the user that sent the email being replied to.
In Exchange 2013, distribution groups function differently. If a user sends an email to
[email protected], our users see a message that is listed as "From: [email protected]" and "To: [email protected]". If a user hits reply to this
message, the reply by default goes to the original send and NOT the entire list. We do NOT like this behavior and wish to change it.
Hitting Reply All when viewing emails from a distribution group is not a viable option...our users will not remember to do that and it will create confusion.
So, to recap, what we want to see when User A send an email to Distribution Group A, then all other users should receive an email that is "From:
[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]". When our users hit reply to this message, the reply's To: field should, by default, be filled in with
[email protected] and not
[email protected]
How can we accomplish this?

You might be able to achieve something using transport rules/agents (if someone sends to the list, re-write the reply address to the list). It would be ugly though... cringing just thinking about it...
We already attempted this with Transport Rules. Specifically, we tried to rewrite the Reply-To header. When attempting to create the rule, Exchange pitches an error message: "Can't set header reply-to with value [email protected]". Are
we missing something somewhere, some setting that will allow this?

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 .

S.Nithyanandham
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.

Is there a way to establish when a distribution group email address last received a message?

We currently use Exchange 2007 but are planning to migrate to 2013 soon. As part of the prep for migration I want to tidy things up, and part of this tidy up is to remove unused distribution groups.
The user community is one that refuses to let go of anything (our retention policy is keep everything, forever), so if I ask them if they still need these groups the answer will be yes for all.
So, is there any way I can pull a report of the last time the email addresses associated with these groups were used?

Apart from above, once you find unused users list, You can try below steps to remove them in exchange 2007 : Simply open the group from the recipient configuration, Distribution group node (or from Active Directory Users and Computers). Select the members
tab and select the user and click the X.
You can take a look at this helpful article to gather more information about this concern : http://windowsitpro.com/exchange-server/exchange-2007-distribution-groups
Furthermore, when you are preparing to migrate database from exchange 2007 to 2013, you can have a look at this proficient resource available at (http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that would also be
a fantastic approach for a secure migration of mailbox data between two exchange server.

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?

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?

Click Start
Collapse this imageExpand this image
, point to All Programs , point to Exchange Server 2010 , and then click
Exchange Management Shell .
At the command prompt, run the following cmdlet:
New-RoleGroup DistributionGroupManagement -Roles "Distribution Groups"

Open Outlook and try to remove from your distribution list those members that you could not remove before

How to create a security group to manage a Distribution list in exchange 2013

Hi folks,
We have AD synced with Online Exchange 2013. Dirsync is installed on AD. We would like to create a security group for a Distribution list(for instance: distribution list name is [email protected] and it is managed via a security group named "abc" ).
How can this be achieved? I do see an option under Online Exchange console using browser-> Groups to create a new security group but it doesn't allow me to add the group created in AD-instead it ask us to create a new one. If we create a new one in Exchange
online console- will it publish to our local AD?

Hi TR,
Thank you for your question.
Are there any errors when we could not add group which is in local AD.
When we could not add group which was created In AD, there are following options we could check:
If current user who logon Exchange server has enough permission to add it
The connection between Exchange server and AD
If we create a new DG in Exchange online, it will be published to local AD.
We could run the following command to create DG for abc.com:
New-DistributionGroup -Name "abc" -Alias abc -Type "Security" -MemberJoinRestriction open
We could refer to the following link to learn more about distribution group:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124513%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Exchange 2013 Dynamic Distribution Groups in Lync 2013

Working on a new Exchange 2013 Lync 2013 environment. I'm having trouble getting Dynamic Distribution groups that exist in Exchange to populate in to the Lync Address book. Currently If I create a normal Distribution list in Exchange,
it populates in to Lync as I would expect and can be searched and added to a users Contact list. But for whatever reason the Dynamic distribution groups do not show at all in Lync. They do show properly in the Exchange & Outlook Client GAL.
And I can use them to send email to recipients. I'm stumped and can;t find any documentation that addresses if it is by design or if I have missed something.

By design it won't work, here is documentation.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398577.aspx
Lync Server 2013 uses the Distribution List Expansion Protocol (DLX) to expand distribution lists. This protocol also specifies the web service method that is used to get the membership of a distribution list. Microsoft Exchange Server supports dynamic groups
that do not have members statically assigned to them. Instead, they store queries that are evaluated when the group is expanded. DLX does not support dynamic distribution lists.

Owners can't update their distribution groups - Outlook/Exchange 2013

I've seen some things online about this but I'm relatively new to this so I wasn't able to follow. I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.
We have a brand new Exchange 2013 environment and users using Outlook 2013. We want to set Owners on all our Distribution groups so that the managers of the departments can manage their own groups instead of having to ask IT to add or remove people
all the time.
We went into the groups and added owners to them thinking that this would allow the owners to add and remove people from their groups right from within the Outlook client. However, when they try to do that, they get the error stating "Changes
to public group membership cannot be saved"
It looks like I need to grant some permissions to the users or something but I'm not following where I need to go to do that. Can I do something from within the Exchange 2013 Admin Center web interface to fix this? Any step-by-step instructions
would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks,
I had seen these before but most specifically mention Exchange 2010. Are they all still applicable?
I followed the steps in the first link since they were easier to figure out, but it seems that if I put someone in that group, they then have the ability to modify ANY group and not just the one they are an Owner of. That doesn't work if that's how
it would have to be. We just want to be able to assigned certain people to edit certain groups from within Outlook.
hmm
OK so the script from the first link seems to give people permissions to edit ANY distribution list which is not what I wanted. I was able to use the script linked here that worked fine:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/11/18/how-to-manage-groups-that-i-already-own-in-exchange-2010.aspx
Took a bit to get it working but now it seems to only allow people to edit groups they Own and not other groups.

Exchange 2013, a distribution group within a distribution group is not receiving emails.

Here's the explanation of what's going on:
"A" is an internal distribution group containing other internal contacts, and internal distribution groups "B" and "C". "B" is a working distribution group that contains all internal contacts. "C" contains all
external contacts, who will successfully receive emails sent directly to "C". The problem is, when you send an email to "A", everyone in "B" receives the email, but no one in "C" does. "C" is set to receive
emails from external sources and has correct SMTP settings as far as I can tell.
Is this problem related to the fact that "C" is full of external contacts? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that will allow "C" to receive emails sent to "A"?
Edit: Group "C" can not receive emails at all.

Sorry, i meant does the mailbox you are sending the email FROM have permission to send emails TO external email address?
Our exchange server is set up so that certain people can only email internal addresses. This is configured in the ECP under Mail Flow - Rules, and is basically configured to state that anyone within the AD group "internal only" to reject the message and
provide the explanation "you are not allowed to email externally".
If the mailbox you are sending the mail from is not permitted to email external contacts, it wont work.
It can be tested by emailing one of the addresses in Group C individually.

Add exchange distribution groups to lync 2013

Hi,
Does anybody kows how to push directly exchange email distribtution list in to lync2013. ( only selected list that contains country wise employee )
Thanks & Regards,
Bhautik Shah

Hi,
You can add Exchange email distribution list into Lync 2013 Contact Card as Tab of “Membership”.
If Lync server have integration with Exchange server, you can change the value of TurnOffMemberOfTab to “0” with the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\common\contactcard if you use Outlook 2010.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\common\contactcard if you use Outlook 2013.
You can refer to the link below, it is for Lync server 2010 but similar for Lync server 2013:

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]"
