Hi @Roger Roger,

Please add echo output, the full command is as follows:

$DLName = ”dl1@contoso.com"
$DistributionGroups= Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited | where { (Get-DistributionGroupMember $_.Name | foreach {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress}) -contains "$DLName"}
echo $DistributionGroups

Use this instead:

$dl = Get-DistributionGroup USG

$DistributionGroups = Get-Recipient -Filter "Members -eq '$($dl.DistinguishedName)'"

$DistributionGroups
