Note:

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role

Procedure

To use the Exchange Management Shell to move an address list to a new container

  1. Run the following command:

    Copy Code 
    Move-AddressList -Identity <AddressListIdParameter> -Target <AddressListIdParameter>

    For example, to use the address list's GUID to move the address list to the Building4 container, which is located in the All Users\Sales container, run the following command:

    Copy Code 
    Move-AddressList -Identity c3fffd8e-026b-41b9-88c4-8c21697ac8ac -Target "\All Users\Sales\Building4"

  2. Type Y to confirm that you want to move this address list, and then press ENTER.
