Answer 1

Hi @Duan, Amber ,

From the error you shared, seems like you are experiencing the issue documented below:
Owners of an on-premises distribution group synced to O365 can't manage the distribution group in Exchange Online

As mentioned in the official article above, Distribution group owners must manage the group by using on-premises tools for Exchange Server such as EAC or EMS. You can try contacting your Exchange administrator for more information if you need further help on the next steps.

Answer 3

Hi @Duan, Amber ,

From the error message, are you trying to add members to distribution group from OWA? If this is the case, based on my experience, you can try opening browser in private mode and see if there's any difference. If it doesn't work, try switching to different browsers and check the result.
