Detailed Description

A dynamic distribution group queries Active Directory mail-enabled objects and builds the group membership based on the results. The group membership is recalculated whenever an e-mail message is sent to a group. You can use the Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet to overwrite existing settings or to add new settings.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Dynamic distribution groups" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Important:
Exchange doesn't validate custom addresses for proper formatting. You must ensure that the custom address you specify complies with the format requirements for that address type.

You can't manage an Exchange 2003 dynamic distribution group by using the Exchange Management Console until you update the object's version and change the recipient filter by using either the RecipientFilter or IncludedRecipients parameters.

GrantSendOnBehalfTo

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty

IgnoreDefaultScope

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The IgnoreDefaultScope parameter instructs the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:

  • You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.

  • You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.

IncludedRecipients

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Recipient.WellKnownRecipientType

The IncludedRecipients parameter filters the recipient types used to build the dynamic distribution group. The available values for the IncludedRecipients parameter are:
