Dynamic DL based on org hierarchy

I have created dynamic DL using Direct Reports for "{objectID_of_manager}" but unable to add additional filter like email id / display name starting with external user. Is there any way to create Direct reports with additional filter.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For business | Windows
Windows for business | Windows Server | User experience | PowerShell
Microsoft Security | Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Entra ID

    Have you tried using Set-DynamicDistributionGroup and the -RecipientFilter parameter?

    Hello there,

    Dynamic DL (Distribution List) based on organizational hierarchy refers to creating email distribution lists automatically based on the structure of an organization. The goal is to simplify email communication within the organization by dynamically including members based on their positions or roles in the hierarchy.

    This concept is commonly implemented in organizations using tools like Microsoft Exchange Server or other email management systems. Here's how it works:

    Organizational Structure: The organization's hierarchy and structure are defined in the company's directory service, such as Active Directory (for Windows environments) or LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

    Dynamic Distribution List Creation: Administrators can set up dynamic distribution lists using rules based on attributes in the directory service. For example, you can create rules that include all members of a specific department, all employees reporting to a particular manager, or everyone in a specific location.

    Automation: Once the dynamic distribution list is created, it updates automatically whenever changes occur in the organization's directory service. If a new employee is added, promoted, or moved to a different department, they will be automatically included or excluded from the relevant distribution lists based on the defined rules.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
