How to view members of a generic Email loop?

Question

How can I to view members of a generic Email address?

Answer 1

To view members of a generic email address loop, you can use the Exchange Management Shell or the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) depending on your environment. Here’s how you can do it:

Using Exchange Online PowerShell:

1. Get the Address List: First, retrieve the address list using the command:

      $AL = Get-AddressList -Identity <AddressListIdentity>
   

2. View Members: Then, use the following command to view the members:

      Get-Recipient -ResultSize unlimited -RecipientPreviewFilter $AL.RecipientFilter | select Name,PrimarySmtpAddress,HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled
   

   This will return all recipients that match the recipient filters for the address list, including hidden recipients.

Using the EAC:

1. Navigate to Organization > Address lists in the EAC.
2. Select the address list you want to view and click Edit.
3. Click on Preview recipients the address list includes to see the members.

Make sure that the address list is up to date before viewing its members. If it is not, you may need to update it first.

Answer 2

I am not a system admin, just user. Previous versions of Outlook included the visibility of members automatically. Are there any setting that user can do within Outlook to make the members of generic Email loops visible in general, like in previous versions?

Dear Kipka, Heike

Thank you for posting your question on the Q&A Forum.

To better assist you, could you please clarify a few details?

1> Are you currently using Classic Outlook (check under File > Office Account) or the New Outlook for Windows (toggle switch in the top right corner)?

2> When you successfully viewed the members before, how did you do it?

• Via the Address Book?
• Or by typing the group name in the “To” field and clicking the “+” (plus sign) to expand the list?

3> Is this issue (unable to see members of a group) happening for all existing groups and newly created groups?

4> If possible, could you share a screenshot of what you are seeing now via Private Message?

Looking forward to your update so we can help resolve this quickly.
