Shared mailbox in distribution group

Hi,
I am trying to set up a set of shared mail boxes to be distributed to several mailboxes
eg [email protected] forwards to [email protected] + [email protected]
Struggling beginner using hosted exchange
Thanks in advance

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if you want to create a distribution group that have some shared mailboxes members. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know. What's more, I would like to verify if you use Exchange 2007.
In your case, you can use the following cmdlet to create these shared mailboxes one by one firstly.
New-Mailbox -Shared -Name "blabla"
Secondly, use the following cmdlet to create the distribution group.
New-DistributionGroup -Name "sales" -OrganizationalUnit "xxx/xxx"
Lastly, use EMC to add these shared mailboxes to the distribution group.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

Looking for good tool to report on unused Mailboxes, unused Distribution Groups, and unused Public Folders

I have evaluated the following products.
Quest (Dell) MessageStats
Enow
StealthAudit
StealthAudit looked to be the best as they also group like mailboxes with like permissions for Office 365 migrations, but this was by far the most expensive.
We are looking to clean up our environment to eventually migrate to Office 365. Any advice on a product that would report on unused Mailboxes, unused Distribution Groups, and unused Public Folders that would be great.

Hi,
In your case, you can use the following cmdlet to determine unused mailboxes. If a mailbox has never logged on, the Lastlogontime is empty.
Get-Mailbox|Get-MailboxStatistics |fl DisplayName,Lastlogontime
Use the cmdlet below to get publicfolder's last access time.
Get-PublicFolderStatistics |fl name,LastAccessTime
Get all distribution lists used over last 30 days.
Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventId Expand -ResultSize Unlimited |Sort-Object RelatedRecipientAddress | Group-Object RelatedRecipientAddress |Sort-Object Name | Select-Object @{label=”PrimarySmtpAddress”;expression={$_.Name}}, Count
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Hi Yasser,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
Exchange has no built-in function to convert shared mailbox to distribution group directly. You need to create distribution groups manually. If these shared mailboxes are unnecessary, you can disable them.

Outlook 2010 - Shared mailbox copies sent items into inbox

Good afternoon, I have a customer which recently requested a shared mailbox addition for group emails within his team (all accounts are Exchange). The shared mailbox is duplicating sent items in the inbox of the shared account. The default account
functions normally with sent items only residing in the sent items folder.
All the settings appear normal on the cliet side, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Mack

Hi Mack,
Does this issue occur on all the users who add the shared mailbox or just several users?
If this issue only occur on one user, please recreate Outlook profile to have a try.
You also can use OWA to help you check on the issue:
<1> Grant one user with full access permission on the shared mailbox.
<2> Login with OWA, and use the shared mailbox to send one email, then check if the sent item email will be copied to the inbox.
Thanks,
Evan

One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

Hi!
I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
For starters:
We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply
to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
1. Configured one shared mailbox.
2. Configured multiple distribution groups
3. made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory.
6. Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email.
the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox.
I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account.
I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As what
Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
DWORD: MaxNumExchange
Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)

Unable to change members of AD security groups who have access to shared mailboxes

I have an exchange 2013 running for over a year now and never had any problems with it. Until recently.
A request came in to make a new shared mailbox. So I did just that and gave rights to a security (not mail enabled) AD group. Just like I Always do. Everything worked fine. A few hours later I did exactly the same for another request and then the people
could not access the shared mailbox. So I added my regular user to the AD group and I also couldn't (I tested it with OWA and Outlook). I tried to remove myself of one of my own shared mailboxes and the permissions wouldn't stick. When I removed the entire
group then the permissions were gone(and I could not access the shared mailbox). When I added it back I had my permissions back but still wasn't in the group. Then I tried adding a distribution group with the same result.
It seems when I add normal users directly to the permissions everything works.
When I had to restart the server a few days later. All changes were applied but I could not change it again.
i'm a bit stumped on this one. i'm out of options.

Hi Jelle,
"I did exactly the same for another request and then the people could not access the shared mailbox.", I would like to verify if you give the same Security Group rights to multiple shared mailboxes.
If the security group members can't have access to all the shared mailboxes they have rights, you can recreate a security group and grant permissions to shared mailboxes one by one to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Creating distrib group in a shared mailbox - MS Exchange outlook

I have been given permissions to another's Outlook (my manager). I can add contacts to my manager's Mailbox. I can create contact groups (distrib groups) to my manager's mailbox. My problem is when I'm creating a distribution group and
click Add Members - from Outlook Contacts OR from Address Book I see my contacts, but not the contacts of my manager.
Can anyone tell me how I can view my manager's contact list? Thank you.

Hi,
You may have found that when clicking Add Members, we can't select contacts from the shared Contacts.
We can't add a Contacts folder from another mailbox to your Outlook Address Book either, it's by design that a shared Contacts folder doesn’t hold the Outlook Address Book tab.

Looking for Script Exchange-2007: Import-Mailbox Calendar Folder on multiple mailboxes {Distribution Group}

Hi,
I'm looking for a PowerShell script which will import a Calendar events into student's mailbox (Calendar). Those students are located in a distribution group and I would like to target the distribution group; I'm trying to simulate what I want to achieve
in the below code example, I would appreciate if anyone jump in and advise.
$Users = Import-Csv C:\users.csv | ForEach-Object{Get-DistributionGroup -Identity SC-1213} | Import-Mailbox -Identity $Users -PSTFolderPath c:\Calendar.pst -IncludeFolders '\Calendar' -StartDate -EndDate
Much appreciated..
Hussain

The logic doesn't work unless you are using StartDate and EndDate for the period when you change the item. As I said above, StartDate and EndDate are not the times when the meeting starts and ends - they are the times that the item was either added
or modified in the mailbox. Your filter was trying to pull items that were in the future.
And as I also said above, if you import a modified item, the original is
not going to be updated. You will have a duplicate meeting
on the calendar. You would have to remove the original
and import the updated item if this was how you wished to manage the updates. This is not nearly as effective as
sending meeting requests and updating those meetings.
For example, if we do things the way you are doing them, and we add a "Student Appreciation Bonfire" meeting to the calendar for April 12 at "The Quad", we would do the following:
On February 1, you get information for the meeting that needs to be imported
You create this new meeting in the PST calendar - "Student Appreciation Bonfire"; Date April 12, start 8:00 AM, end 12:00 noon; Location The Quad
You import the PST into everyone's calendar
You receive a note on March 12 saying the venue has changed to The River Beach, so you update this meeting in your PST
Since there are other calendar items in the PST, you import the update using StartDate of March 12 and EndDate of March 13 - the date that you changed the item, not the date the item occurs
At this point, all users have two meetings on their calendar - the original and the update
If, instead of doing it this way, you create a Student Actvities Calendar mailbox, you would handle it this way:
On February 1, you get information for the meeting that needs to be imported
You create this new meeting in the Corporate calendar - "Student Appreciation Bonfire"; Date April 12, start 8:00 AM, end 12:00 noon; Location The Quad
You invite everyone to the meeting
You receive a note on March 12 saying the venue has changed to The River Beach, so you update this meeting in that calendar and send out the update
At this point, all users have only the one meeting on their calendar - the update
Using the PST as the source for the meetings would work only for items that
will not be changed - holidays are a good example.

Notifications from a shared mailbox calendar to a group of people

HI
When a member of staff books a meeting . They add meeting room support as an attendee of the meeting if they need IT assistance .
I would like the meeting room support to be a shared mailbox or calendar that sends notifications to a group of people when a meeting is going to start as if it was in my calendar .
The problem is at the moment we have to accept all meetings to get that notification , so my presence and other members of the groups is always set to busy
We are using Outlook 2010 . I read somewhere that was a new feature of 2010 and wasn't a feature of 2007 . Can somebody just clarify that this is possible and how best to do it
Thanks
MM

Hi,
There is no such build-in feature in Outlook. As you mentioned, you can accept a meeting and then you will get the notification, this is how it works.

Email Issue - Can't send to a distribution list/shared mailbox

Hi,
I am able to send emails to named email addresses for individuals in my company but when I add a distribution list or a shared mailbox, I get the following error:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 550 5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thanks
LCHIMC

Hello,
In general I'd recommend you should always use a full address for your email recipients. Your mail server should handle a fully qualified address even for local delivery, however by using the fully qualified version you protect yourself from any configuration changes on the mail server that would stop local addressing working.
Just my thoughts.

Distribution Group to Mailbox conversion

Hi
Our Marketing departments has a couple of DL's (static, not Dynamic) that they use for people to communicate with them. Examples are:
[email protected]
[email protected]
etc
They would like these DL's converted into mailboxes now rather than DL's. But - they want to minimise any downtime where people sending to these DL's would get a rejected/ non-deliverable message.
We have AD sites and Exchange servers in USA, Europe and Asia, and these DL's receive emails from all over.
Is there a recommendation for the quickest and most efficient way to do this?
We are running Exchange 2007 SP2 and AD 2003.

Hi All, <o:p></o:p>
Just wondering if there was any progress with this?<o:p></o:p>
@Rich , while your solution is more than acceptable, in our case, we're required to lose the distribution list completely and provide a user mailbox
that they can send / receive from. While we can delete the existing distribution group and once the changes have propagated, simply create a mailbox using the same SMTP address, it means that when users send emails to the existing cached address they have
stored in outlook they will receive a NDR. It will require them to delete the cached address before they can send to this address again.<o:p></o:p>
Are there any specific attributes that can be copied/migrated over to avoid causing the mass disruption? <o:p></o:p>
We're running Exchange 2010. <o:p></o:p>
Regards,<o:p></o:p>

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 .

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.
