dynamic DL

Question

Hi All

i have a Dynamic Distribution List in Exchange Online. it has 10000 users. i have 5 users and i want to know whether these users are members of the Dynamic Distribution List. I am exporting the Dynamic DL membership to csv file using the syntax Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter (get-dynamicdistributiongroup) and i am searching those users from the csv file. is there a direct way where i can fetch these 5 users membership

Answer 1

You can use the Get-DynamicDistributionGroupMember cmdlet, for example:

Get-DynamicDistributionGroupMember DDG -ResultSize Unlimited | ? {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress -eq '******@domain.com'}

You can use other properties too, such as Name,Alias, EmailAddresses. No UserPricipalName though.

Answer 2

Hi @Glenn Maxwell ,

You can try to find out which dynamic distribution groups the user belongs to, and use that to determine.

The command is as follows:

Get-DynamicDistributionGroup -Filter * | where {
    'username' -in (Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $_.RecipientFilter).Name
}
