Is the Below Syntax correct for DL creation, how can i add owners in the Syntax. lets say owners are ******@contoso.com & ******@contoso.com

New-DistributionGroup -Name "DL-Test" -Alias ******@contoso.com -DisplayName "DL-Test" -PrimarySmtpAddress "******@contoso.com"

Hi @Glenn Maxwell,

You can try to use the following command to create DistributionGroup in exchange online then set owner as ******@contoso.com & ******@contoso.com

New-DistributionGroup -Name “DL-Test” -Alias DL-Test -DisplayName “DL-Test” -PrimarySmtpAddress “******@contoso.com” -ManagedBy ******@contoso.com,******@contoso.com

You can try to use the following command to create a UnifiedGroup in exchange online and then set the owner as ******@contoso.com & ******@contoso.com

New-UnifiedGroup -DisplayName "UG-Test" -Alias UG-Test -PrimarySmtpAddress "******@contoso.com" -Members ******@contoso.com,******@contoso.com -ManagedBy ******@contoso.com,user2@contoso .com
