I want to ask if I can disable following setting from command

[Send copies of group conversations and events to group members]

Once I enable the setting it will continue after disabling it also

The only way to disable it from Outlook group setting although I applied Group setting from outlook it will only reflect on my end so all the group members need to disable it one bye one at their end

so it would be glad if there is command to disable this option

    Hi @ネパリ サンデャ,

    Once I enable the setting it will continue after disabling it also

    Once this setting is configured on Exchange side, the setting on Outlook (user) side would be set to "All Email and Events", which is a user-side setting.

    Based on my test, unfortunately there is no other method to reverse this change other than having users re-configure it in Outlook. (select other options than "All Email and Events")

    In addition, new members added to the team after "Send copies of group conversations and events to group members" was turned off would not be affected and would have the default setting "Only Replies to You and Events".

    Hello there,

    To disable the "Send copies of group conversations and events to group members" setting in Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) from the command line, you can use the PowerShell module for Microsoft 365. Here's an example of how you can accomplish this:

    Install the PowerShell module for Microsoft 365 by following the instructions provided by Microsoft. This module allows you to manage various settings and configurations in your Microsoft 365 environment.

    Open a PowerShell command prompt with administrative privileges.

    Connect to your Microsoft 365 tenant by running the following command and providing your admin credentials when prompted:

    Connect-M365Service

    Once connected, you can disable the "Send copies of group conversations and events to group members" setting for a specific group using the following command:

    Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "GroupName" -UnifiedGroupSenderRestrictionEnabled $true

    Replace "GroupName" with the display name, email address, or unique identifier of the group you want to modify.

    I used AI provided by ChatGPT to formulate part of this response. I have verified that the information is accurate before sharing it with you.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
