I just tried to create a dynamic distribution group that contained all users that were listed as residing in the city Winnipeg

get-dynamicdistributiongroup | set-dynamicdistributiongroup -identity "Winnipegdistributiongroup" -recipientfilter {city -eq Winnipeg}

The command completes successfully and if I check the EAC it seems to have even worked. What could be causing none of the users to populate within the group though?

Dynamic distribution groups do not have a membership, the recipients are calculated at the time the email is sent. You can preview what the membership would look like by opening the DDL in EMC, going to the filter tab and clicking on preview.

If you're doing that and the preview is not turning anyone up then there's likely something wrong with your filter. You can test the filter by doing a Get-Recipient -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter { City -eq "Winnipeg" }, if that returns results the DDL should as well and if it doesn't you can mess with the filter here until it returns who you're looking for.

Well then. It all seems to be working but I just can't send email through the group.


Okay I figured it out, it was being applied to a very (very) poorly named OU.

Thanks for the help.

Newbie question. Is there a way I can prevent a user that has been disabled in AD from showing up in the global address list of Office 365?

From Powershell:

Set-Mailbox -Identity user@domain.com -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true

I tried that. Problem is office 365 won't let you do that because the user is an AD user. Seems like it wants you to do it on an exchange server on premise but we don't have one, thus office 365.

quote:

The operation on mailbox "user" failed because it's out of the current user's write scope. The action
'Set-Mailbox', 'HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled', can't be performed on the object 'user' because the object is
being synchronized from your on-premises organization. This action should be performed on the object in your
on-premises organization.

However, currently syncing Exchange related attributes without on-premises Exchange servers installed is not officially supported in our forum, since many potential issues could occur in the scenario that we extend the Exchange related attributes where no on-premises Exchange server is deployed, and we have limited resources about the issues.

I manage and deal with hundreds of DDL's in O365, the way I test them real time is to do the following

code:
$winnipeg = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity Winnipegdistributiongroup
The variable can be named whatever the important part is to get the identity info into the variable

Then use it to generate the recipient preview filter

code:
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $winnipeg.RecipientFilter
That'll get you a real time exact list of people that would get the email.

There are tons of exchange archiving solutions out there to take care of that requirement since it's something that's common with a publicly traded company due to SOX regs.

Right but I don't know anything about any of them other than their names. Is there a reason not use the built in Exchange functionality - would that not meet my req? I know these mail archiving solutions existed before Exch 2010 had online archive built in, and certainly before Exchange Online had all their ediscovery/legal hold/dlp stuff baked in.. So is there any value in the third party stuff at this point?

I've used that too and like everything mimecast, it is very good.

If you have a mimecast rep see if they'll let you trial the archive part, usually they will since it is buco bucks for them

Mimecast archiving is good. Since you're new to it all I'd recommend that over whatever MS can bolt onto Office 365 since the support is a lot better, and they will help you with getting it all started up.

idk if this belongs in this thread but:

I have an RDS server where people can run Office applications including Outlook*. With Exchange Online, Outlook runs like poo poo unless I have cached mode enabled. So I have cached mode enabled and it's eating up a bunch of space quickly with the OSTs.

My question: what's the Right Thing to do here?

* lmk if I need to explain why we're doing this to begin with

cached mode is generally the preferred method unless both your exchange server and outlook client live on the same LAN subnet.

Are you open to the idea of publishing Office as a RemoteApp on Azure? You might have more luck running non-cached if you're in the same datacenters.

If you have Outloook 2013+ you can only sync a week\month's worth of mail in the cache. It will increase slower but if your people have multi-gig mailboxes you'll buy yourself some time.

Auto-archiving older mail, perhaps?



You're gonna have a great time if your users do what mine do, and add each other's mailboxes. You'll end up storing everyones mail 50 times in various OSTs. Hurrah!

Edit - I assume Outlook is required to be in RDS. But you could run it locally and sync via Outlook Anywhere.

This is what we're doing for now.

What I really want is a gpo that says "if OST gets to be over 5gb, don't cache the oldest stuff" or something like that.

Maybe I'll turn off cached mode for added mailboxes (pretty sure I saw a setting for that). I'm fine with them being slow on checking other mailboxes.

On Prem Exchange and Sharepoint must be the biggest drag on their support.


Question: I need a way to mark an incoming email based on which alias smtp address was used. I've got users with multiple alias' but the users aren't able to tell which address the sender used. Is this doable? I'd just want to append a text-flag to the end of the email or something.

I'm on Exchange 2010
