Hi
Just a quick question; Is this maybe a bug?
With the -Filter parameter, no matching group is found but with "Where" the desired group is found.
Hi @PFS IT ,
please try this (not tested):
Get-DistributionGroup -Filter "Name -eq '$GroupName'"

The -Filter takes a string as an argument, not a code block. It's a good idea to consult the help for a cmdlet (either online or using help cmdlet-name).
Follow Andreas' advice. ;-)
Yeah, I just assumed it should be a code block because with many other cmdlets, it is one. First time seeing the -Filter parameter being used with quotation marks :) Learning never stops.
Hello PFSIT,
The Filter parameter indeed takes strings and not code blocks, so it should be between quotes, also would like to introduce you to the tested properties to be applicable for the Filter parameter in Exchange.

Hope this may be helpful for you,
Best regards,
