Modify a Dynamic Distribution List to include only a specific Recipient Container

Question

I have a existing ddl list that works fine but I want to narrow it down to one recipient container. I run the following command and it completes with no errors but users from other ou's still appear in the list. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

set-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity "testlist" -RecipientFilter {((title -eq "OpsUser 1") -or (title -eq "OpsUser2") -or (title -eq "OpsUser3") -or (name -eq "smithb"))} -RecipientContainer "abc.org\employees"

Answer 1

Hi,
In my lab it's easy to change the container:

When you run "Get-OrganizationalUnit |fl name", can you find "abc.org\employees" listed?
And is it changed in "Get-DynamicDistributionGroup ddg2|fl RecipientContainer"?
How did you check the OU members, the correct commands are:

$FTE = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup "ddg2"  
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $FTE.RecipientFilter -OrganizationalUnit $FTE.RecipientContainer  

Besides, which CU are you in? On-premise Exchange server or Exchange online?
