relationship with active directory OU and exchange distribution list

Question

I am new to this section(AD and exchange)
Can anyone tell me how I can send a mail through a distributionlist to everyone under a OU(organisation unit) my envirnment exchange 2019.

Answer 1

You can try the following PowerShell scripts

1. Export all users in the OU as a csv file

    $OUpath = 'ou=Managers,dc=enterprise,dc=com'
    $ExportPath = 'c:\userlist.csv'
    Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $OUpath | Select-object EmailAddress | Export-Csv -NoType $ExportPath
   

2. Add the members to the group. Make sure that the header value is EmailAddress Import-Csv “c:\userlist.csv” | foreach{Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity “GroupName” -Member $_.EmailAddress}

Answer 2

You can't send an email to all users under the OU until you have a distribution list ready with all those users.
If you don't have the distribution list ready, start it here from Exchange Admin Center

• Type Display name and alias of the group name. Under the Organization unit and click on browse
• Select the particular OU you are looking for
• Under Members click, so click the “+” icon
• Select user you want to add in the group so click add and click ok
• Select the necessary options as per your preference and click Save
• Select the Distribution group you just created and click on edit and select Delivery Management, to choose senders inside/outside organization clicks on save
• Login Outlook Web App > Select new mail and type Distribution group name you just created. Add necessary message, Subject line etc. and send email
