I'm having trouble executing the command to add email to groups in the active directory, I run the command below, but it returns the error below

script:

Get-ADGroup -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Myou' | ForEach-Object { Set-ADGroup -Identity -mail ($_.sAMAccountName + '@teste .com') }

error:

Set-ADGroup : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'teste@teste .com'.
At line:1 char:128

... ch-Object { Set-ADGroup -Identity -mail ($_.sAMAccountName + '@teste . ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello @Lucas Cruz

Please use the following script below to achieve this:

$groups = Get-ADGroup -filter *  -SearchBase "OU=path,DC=domain,DC=com" | select -exp samaccountname  
ForEach ($group in $groups) {  
	Set-ADGroup -Identity $group -Replace @{mail=$group + '@example.com'}  
}

Borrowed parts of the code from https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2042327-pull-users-from-a-group-that-are-in-a-specific-ou and https://serverfault.com/questions/567279/how-can-a-set-a-security-groups-email-address-using-powershell and customized it to your specifications.
