Detailed Description
The Remove-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet removes an existing recipient from a distribution group or a mail-enabled security group. You can't use the Remove-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet to remove a recipient from a dynamic distribution group. A dynamic distribution group queries Active Directory mail-enabled objects and builds the group's membership based on the results. The group's membership is recalculated whenever an email message is sent to the group.
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 "Distribution groups" entry in the Recipients Permissions topic.
