Extracting Administrator of Distribution Lists

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the description, members and administrators of a distribution list with a VBScript.
Example:
Dim objDLMember
Dim objAdminSystem
Dim objDL
Dim strGWPath
Dim strDN
strGWPath = "<path-to-domain>"
strDN = "<distinguished.name.of.DL>"
Set objAdminSystem = CreateObject("NovellGroupWareAdmin")
objAdminSystem.Connect (strGWPath)
Set objDL = objAdminSystem.DistributionLists.ItemByDN(strDN)
Msgbox objDL.Name
Msgbox objDL.Description
For Each objDLMember In objDL.Membership
Msgbox objDLMember.Member.Name
Next
This works fine so far, but I can't see a way to get the administrator of distribution lists.
How can I extract the administrator's name?
I would prefer to use LDAP for that, but the administrator information is not stored there.
I appreciate any ideas,
Rene

Is there any alternative way to extract this information?
Thanks,

How to get administrations of distribution list using api?

I want get all administrations of a distribution list using api, how to do that?
anybody knows? Thank you very much!!

there is a standard function in mdm wd component

"Note The Compare to Original button on the Items Detail component opens a Compare component enabling a user to compare a checked out record with an original record (if the user has authorization for the checked out group).
If the checked out record is a result of a merge action, then the Compare view displays all the original records prior to the merge. When a merge action is executed on a number of checked out records, the merged record is also checked out."

Hello out there...
Not a GroupWise guru by any means...hoping I overlooked something simple....Groupwise 7.03 server and client system...we are just trying to get Distribution List Administration working and are testing it out amongst ourselves (admins)...so in Consoleone we use the Groupwise/Administration tab, add ourselves...it shows up for our user ID's in the Distribution List administration tab...but in the Windows client when trying to modify the list the add/remove buttons are greyed out. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Have you corrected this. I'm seeing the same thing and can't figure it out.
It seems to have started after moving GW from Netware to Linux but not sure.
Thanks for any reply you may have.

Copy distribution list to all content services user folders

We have an Outlook distribution list PST file that current resides in a Windows file server. This gets pushed out the the personal folder of each user overnight.
Going forward, we need to push this PST file to all the Content Services user personal folders (Users-A, Users-B ... Users-Z).
I created a single superuser that has all administrative rights to all the users personal folders. And I can upload a file through the webdav http interface.
with the "Upload" button while I'm "Switched to Administrative Mode" only.
And I can't see the users personal folders while using the Oracle Drive nor
thru a Network drive.
Is there a way of pushing this to all the users' personal folders???

Hi Juan,
I tried that but it is not showing the shared distribution list for moving.
I found 1 sap BC office document which stats that moving the distribution list form Private to public is not possible due to security reason.
So, no options for me and to create manual shared distribution list.
Thanks

Dynamic Mail Messenger - mail to distribution list

Hi Mentors,
The requirement is to generate an automatic mail when an employee updates his marital status or children status in IT0002.
The mail has to go to the master data administrator and one of the persons in the Accounts team to initiate insurance coverage.
M0001 is what will be used. The standard M0001 feature already has RECV1 (master data administrator) inculded. I need to add DISTR ( the distribution list containing the accounts personnel mail id).
How can I do this> Can you please guide ?
Thanks

hi VJ,
hope you are doing good.
Try using TCODE : SO04 -- > Distribution Lists --> Shared Distribution and then utilitze Attributes and Content tabs .
hope it helps you.

Distribution List issue

Hello,
Since our upgrade to GW 8 users can no longer administer Distribution Lists. I have created a new test list and made myself administrator to verify this. I can add the members to the list but when I save and close they are not added to the list. We are running 8.02 with most current build (91941)on agents and clients. Do I need to run some kind of PO repair?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, weird although I'm have a weird dist list issue also in that some are disappearing from users' address books. Sometimes they'll show back up if I refresh the address book from the system book but often not. I'll submit a new post on that one; it's possible they're related.
>>> csupers<[email protected]> 1/24/2011 7:06 AM >>>
These are all regular c/s connections, very few of our users (maybe 10)
using caching. We had implemented this before we went to 8 and it was
working fine, now it's broke.

Distribution List Question

Good Morning:
In Distribution List, I am unsubscribing some email address, and then the List's owner and the subscriber does receive a email with the notification. Can I set any properties for avoid the notification when the subscriber is un-subscribed?
Thanks alot for any guide.

You can also subscribe/unsubscribe people using the admin pages (in webmail select the Administration tab then the List sub-tab). There is a Membership Management function that allows you to maintain list members directly without going through the list server, so notification emails are not sent. You do need to log in as a user with Administration privileges though.
As far as I know there is no way to avoid getting notifications sent using the end-user webmail screens.

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.

Unity 4.x - Limits of Distribution List members

Is there a limit to how many members you can add to a public and/or private distribution list in Unity 4.2?

Hi Johnny,
Subscribers > Class of Service > Features Page
Lists Available to Subscribers
Enter a number between one and 99 to specify the maximum number of private lists available to subscribers who are assigned to this COS. Subscribers can manage their private lists by phone and from the Cisco Unity Assistant.
Though both the Cisco Unity conversation and the Cisco Unity Assistant use this setting to determine when a subscriber has reached the maximum number of lists, consider that each application calculates the number of lists that a subscriber owns differently:
•When a subscriber tries to use the phone to create a new list by adding members, the Cisco Unity conversation counts the number of private lists that have members, and then compares the total to the value in this setting to determine whether the subscriber has reached the list limit. Lists with no members (empty lists) are not included in the total number of lists that a subscriber owns, even if the lists have recorded names and/or text names.
•When a subscriber tries to use the Cisco Unity Assistant to create a new list, the Cisco Unity Assistant counts the number of lists that have a recorded voice name, a text name or members, and then compares the total to the value in this setting to determine whether the subscriber has reached the list limit. Lists with no members are included in the total number as long as they have recorded names and/or text names.
This means that if a subscriber belongs to a class of service that allows 15 lists, and the subscriber has 12 private lists with members and two lists with recorded names but no members, the subscriber can potentially create more lists by phone than in the Cisco Unity Assistant before reaching the list limit:
•When the subscriber uses the Cisco Unity conversation, the subscriber will reach the list limit either by adding members to the two empty lists and creating one new list, or by creating three new lists. If the subscriber reaches the limit by creating three new lists, the subscriber cannot add members to the two empty lists until two lists are deleted.
•When the subscriber uses the Cisco Unity Assistant, the subscriber will reach the list limit by creating one new list. Despite reaching the list limit, the subscriber can add members to the two empty lists.
You can set up private lists for a subscriber on the applicable Subscribers > Subscribers > Private Lists page, though the subscriber is the only person who can send voice messages to the list.
Maximum Members Per List
Enter a number between one and 999 to specify the maximum number of members that subscribers can add to a private list when they use the Cisco Unity conversation or the Cisco Unity Assistant. (There is no limit imposed on the number of members that can be added to a private list when you use the Subscribers > Subscribers > Private Lists page to add members to a list.)
The subscriber is the only person who can send voice messages to the lis

Security enabled distribution list in SharePoint

Hi All
How can we create a security enabled distribution list in ShrePoint 2010?
Does it means creating a SharePoint group with an Email ID and assign a permission to that group OR creating an Account in AD?.
If we assign an Email ID to that group in SharePoint whether that account will be created in AD automatically
Any Help on this would be highly appreciated
Regards
Mahesh

I got the answer for that,Here it is,
There is a distribution list you can see and use in outlook, but when you search for the same list in SharePoint it doesn’t show up in the people picker.
Chances are that the distribution list is not security enabled. This would need to be done by your domain administrator. He would need to change the ‘Group Type’ of the list from ‘distribution’ to ‘security’. Once this is done your SharePoint administrator
would need to run a profile import so SharePoint can pick up the change immediately (alternatively you can let SharePoint automatically pick it up during its scheduled AD crawl

Distribution List - Unable to Add Internet Address

All;
I have created a shared Distribution List and when i am trying to add an internet address, it throws me an error
"You do not have auth, for communication method <Internet>".
But SU53 doesn't show any auth. failures. I can access SO15, SO04. What more auth. should i need?
Any light thrown on this discrepancy is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
The auth object S_OC_SEND has two fields
COM_MODE: and Number
My profile has COM_MODE as 'INT' and NUMBER as '*'. Is it ok?

Cannot email recreated dynamic distribution list NDR 5.1.1

We had an issue where we needed to change the location of the OU in a dynamic distribution groups that had moved from Exch 2003>2010>2013. We couldn't do it so we recreated a new distribution group with the same SMTP address. Now users
are getting 5.1.1 errors when trying to send an email to the distribution list.
Here is the error:
IMCEAEX-_o=Wa-Nee+20Community+20Schools_ou=First+20Administrative+20Group_cn=Recipients_cn=[email protected]
Remote Server returned '550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.ExRecipNotFound; not found'
I have found other posts that mention deleting the cached address in Outlook, but that has not solved my issue. Further reading leads me to believe it might have something to do with the legacy DN, but I don't know what to do to fix the issue.

I convered it to this: X500:/o=Wa-Nee Community Schools/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=[email protected] and added as an X500 address in the newly created dynamic dist group, but I am still getting the NDR.
IMCEAEX-_o=Wa-Nee+20Community+20Schools_ou=First+20Administrative+20Group_cn=Recipients_cn=[email protected] Remote Server returned '550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.ExRecipNotFound;
not found'
That OU (First Administrative Group) isn't an OU I am using. Is it possible that the legacy DN value is pointing to the old dynamic group location and I need to update to point to the new location of the distribution group?

Retrieve mails lost for routing fail in distribution list

hi
I read mails from external provider with a pop connector and write them in exchange 2010.
(message tracking: EventID : RECEIVE   Source: SMTP)
I wrote a wrong internal distribution list, so I got no mail delivered to the list
(message tracking: EventID : FAIL   Source: ROUTING)
anyway, exchange gave me a MessageID for every lost mail.
tracking goes back 30 days ('cause or retention period?)
question is (you can imagine):
- are the mails somewhere in server ?
- as and administrator, can I retrieve them (by EMC, powershell, etc...)
Thanks
Roberto

Hi Ed
it's not in this way.
As i said in fist post, mails was "received" by exchange
in tracking tool i can see them as
EventID : RECEIVE   Source: SMTP , with the WRONG address, that caused the routing to fail.
on the SAME line in tracking tool, i anyway got a MessageID, so i imagine they are "somewhere" IN exchange...

Distribution list, duplicate alias

I accidently deleted AD object for distribution list.
When I create distribution list from
"Chage group Settings" page and set "Create an e-mail distribution group for this group?" to yes, I get "The Directory Management Service reported the following error: Duplicate alias." I tried to delete distribution list from Central Administration -> Operations -> Approve/reject distribution groups, no luck either.
I tried stsadm refreshdms and got:
Error in application.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Young

Brij,
Thank you so much to take time to reply. Here is the result:
Please check if you have any groups listed under Central Administration > Operations > Approve/reject distribution groups when you select "Delete Requests" view. If yes, please delete them.
I tried this before I posted my question. I tested this and found two things:
1. A group doesn't get deleted if AD doesn't exactly match the data. Here is the situation. When I tried a distribution group called "IT group", unfortunately "IT group" contact email distribution existed. Of course, SharePoint gave me an error; somehow "IT group" appeared on Directory Management Service Approval List.
2. Even I delete a group and the group disappears, I get the same error. One group for this post, I created one and accidentally deleted AD side.
Do you have OU created for these contacts and distribution groups in AD (Active Directory)? if yes, please delete this group from OU and see if that helps.
No OU has been created for this group.
Also check OU for any contacts ( created for email enabled lists/libraries or for any other purpose) with the same name(alias), which you are assigning to a distribution group. This seems to be the strongest possibility of the error message you are receiving.
So far; no luck. Couldn't find any group with the same name in AD.
If I create and delete a group, it works perfectly on all sides. Still looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Young
