MailTips for Dynamic Distribution Lists - wrong number of recipients

We use Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013. We have a Dynamic Distribution List ([email protected]) configured on Exchange. It contains 75 users, I confirmed it using below cmdlets in Exchange management shell
$all = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup [email protected]
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $all.recipientfilter
When I use Outlook to create a new email to [email protected] there is a MailTip displayed mention about 87 of recipients, it should be 75 users.
Settings on our Exchange servers are as below:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-OrganizationConfig | fl *mailtip*
MailTipsAllTipsEnabled : True
MailTipsExternalRecipientsTipsEnabled : False
MailTipsGroupMetricsEnabled : True
MailTipsLargeAudienceThreshold : 25
MailTipsMailboxSourcedTipsEnabled : True
Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

In Active Directory attributes for this group are as below
msExchGroupMemberCount =
87msExchGroupExternalMemberCount
= 0
Regarding
files under %ExchangeInstallPath%GroupMetrics there is only cookie file modified yesterday and
it contains as below:
DC=domain,DC=com;12/28/2014 13:11:15;05/14/2013 20:02:24
Just created new dynamic distribution group with the same filter as for group all (for test purpose). There is no MailTip for this new group now. Is it possible to force \ speed up group metrics generation?

Address List and RecipientFilter for dynamic distribution lists

Hi guys
I am trying to setup a Address List in exchange that contains dynamic distribution lists specified by the list name. So address List abc should contain dynamic distribution lists with list names "def" and "ghi" and "jkl"
So far I have come up with below which displays all dynamic distribution lists. this works but how can I now filter further to specific lists?
New-AddressList -Name abc -RecipientFilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and (ObjectClass -eq 'msexchdynamicdistributionlist'))}
Example of what I am trying to acheive:
New-AddressList -Name abc -RecipientFilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and ((ObjectClass -eq 'msexchdynamicdistributionlist') -and ('msexchdynamicdistributionlist' -eq 'def') -or ('msexchdynamicdistributionlist' -eq 'ghi') -or ('msexchdynamicdistributionlist' -eq
'jkl'))}

Hi,
I have some tests in my environment using Exchange 2013. You can use the following cmdlet to create an address list that contains specified distribution group members.
New-AddressList -Name test3 -RecipientFilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and (MemberOfGroup -eq 'CN=Sales,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com'))}
Note that it can't work for dynamic distribution group. In your case, I haven't found a parameter for dynamic distribution group in Exchange, your understanding will be appreciated.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

(Do I) Need to update legacy WMI filter for Dynamic Distribution List

Wrapping up migration from Exchnage 2003 to Exchange 2010. Have one special DDL called "Everone" that filters for all users with mailboxes AND that are not disabled. This is used for broadcast notices and the second paramater eliminates
NDR's generated by disabled AD accounts that still have mailboxes.
Here is the filter that was created in Exchange 2003:
(&(!cn=SystemMailbox{*})(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*))) )))
(I hope that pasted right)
I will be removing the old Exchange 2003 server soon and need to know if the DDL filter needs to be upgraded before I remove the old server (will it break if not).
Additionally, I think it may need to changed it to an OPATH compatible filter from the EMS and would need help with how to do that. The canned options do not seem to cover the "only enabled users" paramater.

Hi,
Have you checked the suggestion Ed provided?
Is there any update with your issue?

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

What tables store the email addresses for a distribution list?

Can someone please tell me the table or tables used to store the email addresses for a distribution list
I have a requirement in BW to send an email to a person who starts a process chain.   One to many people will be able to do this and the requirement is to have the email only go to the person who executes the Process chain.    I would like to dynamically maintain the distribution list in my job.

Here is piece of code i used one of my program to fetch email address from distribution list
if not soid-objnam is initial.
    call function 'SO_DLI_READ_API1'
      exporting
        dli_name                   = soid-objnam
        shared_dli                 = 'X'

        others                     = 5.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    else.
      loop at i_distlist.
        if i_distlist-member_adr is initial.
          move i_distlist-member_nam to i_user-bapibname.
          call function 'BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL'
            exporting
              username = i_user-bapibname
            importing
              address = wa_address
            tables
              return   = i_return.
          move wa_address-e_mail to wa_receiver-receiver.
          append wa_receiver to i_receiver.
        else.
          move i_distlist-member_adr to wa_receiver-receiver.

Enabling the Export function for a distribution list in 'Private folders'

Dears,
Could someone please guide to the appropriate authorization that would allow the 'Export...' function for a distribution list created in a folder under 'Private folders' - Transaction : SBWP
The option is dimmed, although the user used has the SAP_ALL profile.
Thanks.

click file/publish settings/flash/actionscript settings and make sure frame 1 is set as the export frame.
if that's already set, don't use test scene.

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.

Need solution for dynamic pick lists in Crystal Reports

Does anyone have a good solution for creating a dynamic pick list for a Crystal Report that is based off of a BW Query without having to use a BW user input variable? In many cases it is not practical to use a BW variable to generate a dynamic pick list due to the high number of possible member values and the highly dynamic nature of the particular characteristic (customers, materials, etc.). In my understanding the LOV Server is not an option when dealing with SAP BW. Anyone else running into this issue with Crystal and SAP BW?

Hi Mike,
we once solved this by creating LOVs in BusinessView Manager. I am not sure if you can use the BW Publisher in this scenario as we did not use it. We published the reports directly to the BOE server for some reasons.
Creating a LOV in BusinessView manager is really easy. You can create cascading prompts, shedule refreshing of the lists, ...
By using the cascading prompt feature you can make prompts like this:
First enter the customer number (or pick it from a list) and then the second list, which holds the materials only has shows the ones which had been purchased by that customer. I think this is what you are looking for.
You should give it a try!

Dynamic Distribution List not working!

H all,
I have been struggling with Dynamic DLs...
I have a domain with 3 sub-domains. Only some users on my top domain have mailboxes on exchange (we use another primary email system) and all users on the sub-domains are added to Exchange as Mail contacts and Mailusers.
So the idea is to create a DL for all users on each site. I want to be able to send email to all users on a particular office.
So, following the TechNet articles I do:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-DynamicDistributionGroup "Test1" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -and (Office -eq 'Office2')}
All users have the Office field filled.
The DL appears on my ECP. Now to see what members the list has (should pull all members with "Office2" on AD) I do:
$members = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity "Test1"
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $members.RecipientFilter | select Displayname,PrimarySmtp
Address
When I press return, it just returns (nada, nothing, nicles):
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>
On other Distribution lists, it works...
For this particular location I converted the mailcontacts to mailusers because I was having problems on sending emails to this DL. Basically the email was purely not sent but it didn't return any error message.. just discarded. If I run a message tracking
on ECP all I can see is: "Delivery report information for this message is no longer available."

Hi,
This would help you... Add RecipientContainer with the full domain name where recipients are and check...
RecipientContainer
Optional
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationalUnitIdParameter
The RecipientContainer parameter filters the recipients used to build the dynamic distribution group based on their location in Active Directory. The value of theRecipientContainer parameter
can be the canonical name of an organizational unit (OU) or a domain. If you don't specify a value for the RecipientContainerparameter, the cmdlet will default to use the local container. This location is specified by using the OrganizationalUnit parameter.

Outlook 2010 Client - "unable to connect to retrieve additional data" for some Distribution lists

We have a mix of Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 clients in our organization.
Users with an outlook 2010 client are having issues with a number (not all) of our distribution lists.
Issues: When selecting a distribution list in the new message 'to' fiedl, a 'message tip' appears with the name of the DL and 'contains xx recipients'.
However, when attempting to expand the DL (selecting the + sign) the following prompt appears "Cannot perfrom the requested operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient. The operation failed"
When selecting the DL through the outlook address book the memberlist is empty and has a mail tip "unable to connect to retrieve additional data".
The DL's were all created in a 2003 environment.
We are currently setting up a 2010 environment, and all DL's were created prior to any schema updates etc.
Of note, users experience the issue, but access the list through OWA don't have the issue.

Please also perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus program on the problematic machine for a test.
2. Remove the Outlook profile completely and create a new profile.
3. Login on the same mailbox by Outlook 2010 on another machine to check the result.
If the issue persists, please open Event Viewer and check whether any error message exists. If so, please post it here for research.
Thanks.

Passing Range Parameter for BO Publication for Dynamic Recepient list

Hello,
We have a Crystal report on top of BEx and we are passing input values for the parameters using another Crystal Report.
We are trying to pass a date range from Dynamic Recipient List to date prompt under personalization.
The format in which we are trying to pass is "05/06/2010 : 09/22/2010" and we are getting the below error in log file:
Document for recipients {} failed: Internal error.
Document for recipients {} failed: Cannot Map Multiple Profile Values to a Single Parameter Field: {[ZOC_DATE]} in Report: ABC_VendorFiscal.
Document for recipients {} failed: Internal error. (FBE60502)
How do we the pass values to date range?
Regards,
Vishal

I came accross the same problem with BIP 4.0 and CR2011 on BW MDX.
By searching on the SAP notes I have found this one which is apparently only a workaround:

Report for a range, need to sent individually for a distribution list

Hi,
I have requirement to run a concurrent request for range of values like for e g. conc program to print for a range POs and send Emails to a distribution lists. Right now we are able to generate .pdf output and enable Emailing thru XMLP. We are achieving this by calling a java wrapper program by defining a virtual printer. But thats not the solution, we need to take individual output for each PO and send EMails to respective distribution list. To my knowledge passing distribution list as parameter is not possible as only $profile$ parameters can only be passed.
Can anyone please give a solution on how to do this?
Thanks and regards,

Dynamic distribution list?

Hi,
Does BI Publisher support dynamic recipient list? For example, the email list would be in a table and at delivery time, BI Publisher would fetch this list from the database or BI repository.
Thank you.

Yes , you can do that
select
d.department_name KEY,
'standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER1, this can be a column from a table
'[email protected]' PARAMETER2, this can be a column from a table
'[email protected]' PARAMETER3, this can be a column from a table
'SUBJECT: Enterprise Bursting Test' PARAMETER4, this can be a column from a table
'BODY: Test Report Body' PARAMETER5, this can be a column from a table
'true' PARAMETER6,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER7 this can be a column from a table
from
email_lists d
use this query in the bursting query editor.

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?
