Hi @Roger Roger

i have a csv file with DL lists in the below format. i have two users user1@Company portal .com and user2@Company portal .com i want to remove existing DL owners by importing the csv file and make user1 and user2 as DL owners. For any DL in the csv file, if there are no owners defined then user1 and user2 should be made DL owners.

The csv file would be like:

identity  
******@contoso.com  
******@contoso.com  

The script would be like:

import-csv C:\temp\1.csv | foreach {  
	Set-DistributionGroup -identity $_.identity -ManagedBy user1,user2  
}

To manage Office 365 groups, you may need to use Add-UnifiedGroupLinks instead.
