Detailed Description

You can use distribution groups to create e-mail distribution lists and security groups to assign permissions to shared resources. Distribution groups can be used only with e-mail applications (such as Microsoft Exchange) to send e-mail messages to collections of users. You can use the Get-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet to retrieve the settings on an existing dynamic distribution group in the Active Directory directory service.

To run the Get-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated one of the following:

  • Exchange View-Only Administrator role

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Anr

Optional

System.String

The Anr parameter indicates that the argument will be resolved using ambiguous name resolution (ANR).

Credential

Optional

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

The Credential parameter indicates the domain and user name of the account used to read Active Directory.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory, include the DomainController parameter in the command.

Filter

Optional

System.String

The Filter parameter indicates the OPath filter used to filter recipients.

For more information about the filterable properties, see Filterable Properties for the -Filter Parameter in Exchange 2007 RTM.

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DynamicGroupIdParameter

The Identity parameter of the distribution group takes one of the following forms:

  • GUID

  • Distinguished name (DN)

  • User principal name (UPN)

  • LegacyExchangeDN

  • Domain\Account name

  • Alias

  • Primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address

IgnoreDefaultScope

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

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

  • You cannot use the DomainController parameter. The command will use 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, are not accepted.

  • You cannot use the OrganizationalUnit and Identity parameters together.

  • You cannot use the Credential parameter.

ManagedBy

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.GeneralRecipientIdParameter

The ManagedBy parameter indicates the DN of the user or contact that manages the group.

OrganizationalUnit

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationalUnitIdParameter

The OrganizationalUnit parameter limits results to a specific organizational unit (OU) container. The OrganizationalUnit parameter returns objects from the specified organizational unit (OU) and objects in all child containers.

ReadFromDomainController

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The ReadFromDomainController parameter specifies that the user information is read from a domain controller in the user's domain. If you set the recipient scope to include all recipients in the forest, and if you do not use this parameter, it is possible that the user information is read from a global catalog with outdated information. If you use this parameter, multiple reads might be necessary to get the information.

Note

By default, the recipient scope is set to the domain that hosts your Exchange servers.

ResultSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The ResultSize parameter indicates the maximum number of recipient objects that will be returned.

SortBy

Optional

System.String

The SortBy attribute is used to sort the results.
