Answer 2

Hello All,

I got my answer in following kb article : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/add-distributiongroupmember?view=exchange-ps

Powershell: import-csv c:\temp\123.csv | foreach {Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "contoso_India" -Member $_.email} -whatif

Please create a csv file including all email address that needs to be added in distribution group and save it on c:\temp location

@Gurudas

Glad to see you find this command.

You could add those information below to that command, in this way, you don't need to confirm. Even if there is a problem with one mailbox, the script can still be run for other users.

import-csv c:\temp\123.csv | foreach {Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "contoso_India" -Member $_.email -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue} -whatif
