I need to implement a script where mailbox online archiving will be enabled for set of users who are member of a group.
Script can run as scheduled task and enable online archiving for newly added members in that DL.

Please if someone can help me. :)

Thank you,

    Hi @sachin kumar singh，

    After you get all the members of this group, use the foreach loop to enable the archive mailbox for each member :

    $Members = Get-DistributionGroupMember -identity distributiongroup
ForEach ($Member in $Members) {
Enable-Mailbox -Identity $Member.identity  -Archive
}

    (Kindly note：Users who have an archive mailbox enabled report a failure error because an archive mailbox for this mailbox already exists.）
