Issue when I try to create a group with name 'webmaster'

Joan Miquel Fernández Alvarez 1

Hi everyone,

When I try to create a new group named 'webmaster@keyman .com' from Administration Center MS 365, this message appears at the end of the process:

> We couldn't create the group.

An Azure Active Directory call was made to keep object in sync between Azure Active Directory and Exchange Online. However, it failed. Detailed error message: The value specified for property Alias is incorrect. Reason: ContainsBlockedWord RequestId : eb5c042b-a2fe-4a58-98ef-81f43d0642c3 The issue may be transient and please retry a couple of minutes later. If issue persists, please see exception members for more information.

When I check our naming policy out in AZ, there's no any blocked word with this name. What's happening?

Is this a M365 group? If yes, then have a look at the M365 Groups naming policy documentation as well.

Hi,
Have you tried O365 support?
You can create a group with another name and add webmaster@keyman .com as a senond address.

Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity dgname -EmailAddresses @{add="******@domain.com"}
