Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example applies the following changes to the existing dynamic distribution group Developers:

  • Change the ConditionalCompany query filter to Contoso.

  • Change the IncludedRecipients query filter to MailboxUsers.

  • Add the value Internal to the ConditionalCustomAttribute1 attribute.

Copy Code 
Set-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity "Developers" -ConditionalCompany "Contoso" -IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers -ConditionalCustomAttribute1 "Internal"

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 email 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 Recipients Permissions topic.

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
