    Hi @Glenn Maxwell ,
    Please run the command provide by Andy to view the output.
    You can also run the following command to verify whether the admin audit log can record the operation, and please noted that the admin audit log default setting is to keep for 90 days.

    Get-AdminAuditLogConfig  
    

    Please refer to: Mailbox audit logging in Exchange Server

    Search-AdminAuditLog -Cmdlets Add-DistributionGroupMember, Remove-DistributionGroupMember -ObjectIds 'dl1'
