Identifying groups with RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $FALSE

Question

Hi All,

New to the Forums and not great with PowerShell scripts - can you advise the PowerShell command for searching all Distribution and security groups with the parameter RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $FALSE so I can identify any groups allowing unauthenticated senders to email to it?

Thanks
Richard

Hi,

#Regaring cloud groups:

Get-UnifiedGroup | Where-Object {$_.RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled -eq $false}


#Regarding the distribution list

Get-DistributionGroup -filter * | Where-Object {$_.RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled -eq $false}

Hello @RM

The best solution for me is Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize unlimited | Export-Csv c:\1.csv and use Excel to filter data.

or you can run this cmd

Get-DistributionGroup | FT Name, RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled

@RM

You can use command below to check them:

For Distribution group:

Get-DistributionGroup | where{$_.GroupType -eq "Universal" -and $_.RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled -eq $false}  

For Security Group:

Get-DistributionGroup | where{$_.GroupType -like "*SecurityEnabled" -and $_.RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled -eq $false}  

If you are using Exchange on-premises, you need to run above commands in EMS(Exchange Management Shell)

If you are using Exchange online, you need to connect to Exchange online with PowerShell, then run above commands in it.
