Use PowerShell to enable 'Send copies of group conversations and events to group members' on a dynamic O365 group

Question

I have done quite a bit of researching and asking 'Co-Pilot' without any luck. Essentially, I want to do what the title says, which is: Enable 'Send copies of group conversations and events to group members' for the specified group using PowerShell. The groups are all Dynamic User Microsoft 365 groups that were created in the Azure Portal.

Here is the PowerShell script that I used:

$groupName = "group1"  
Set-UnifiedGroup $groupName -AutoSubscribeNewMembers

I have also tried this iteration of the script:

$groupName = "group1"  
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity $groupName -AutoSubscribeNewMembers: $true

When running the script, I get the output:
"WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'group1_asdfag-afga-sdfa-fgaeasdff' have been modified.".

When looking at the group in Exchange, I see that the box labelled 'Send copies of group conversations and events to group members' is still not enabled.

Answer 1

Looks like I'm an idiot. After about an hour the group updated to reflect the changes. Both scripts worked but I wasn't waiting long enough to verify.

Answer 2

It's good to hear that
