Add and remove user from Outlook Distribution list

Question

Hi,

We have a requirement where we need to have a console application where user id will be passed and that user will be added or removed to the email Distribution list of outlook.

We are the owner of that Distribution list but we dont have access to AD.

Any code?

Answer 1

You can easily do this via PowerShell and the Add-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet. Plenty of code samples are available online, just look them up.

Answer 2

Hi @md zakir ,
Welcome to our forum.
Agree with michev, we could use the Add-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet to add a single recipient to distribution groups and use the Remove-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet to remove a single member from distribution groups.

For more detailed information, please refer to these articles:

• Add-DistributionGroupMember
• Remove-DistributionGroupMember

Hope that could be helpful to you.
