Dynamic Distribution Groups - Assigning Users

Question

Hi all,

As my organization grows, and my available time shrinks, I decided to begin playing around with Dynamic Distribution Groups to alleviate some pain points, such as manually adding and deleting new employees, removing them from the appropriate groups, etc... Question is pretty simple and relates to the rule sets being applied to the DDG. If my org has several departments (similar to a 22-2222, 33-3333, 55-5555 naming convention), will I need to create a DDG per department, and then apply a Custom Attribute, such as 22-2222, so the correct employee is assigned to the correct department group? Can I create one DDG then several different custom attributes with each department as its own and assign that way? Or is there a more efficient way to do this different than the way I have described?

Thanks.

Hi Nicholas Petruzzelli,

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

I read your post carefully. In fact, we can add members automatically in dynamic distribution groups. You can have a try according to Add users to a dynamic group - tutorial - Azure AD | Microsoft Docs and Manage dynamic distribution group in Exchange Online | Microsoft Docs.

You can refer to the document to have a try. If there is any update, please feel free o let me know. Your understanding is highly appreciated.

Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Katherine
