We just migrated from Exhange 2003 to Exchange 2010. While in the 2003 world, admins could modify distribution group membership using Outlook, signed in as themselves. Now in order for that to happen, they must be listed as Managers for the distribution group in order to manage it. We have several groups and I'm looking for an easy way to globally apply these permissions. Does someone have a shell script or command that can work for this? Thanks.

Set-DistributionGroup -Identity "Group Name" -ManagedBy DOMAIN\USER1,"User2 Name",user3upn@domain.com You could script this pretty easily using the Import-CSV cmdlet and running a loop.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Gus2166, When you want add Administrator listed as Managers for the distribution groups , you can use command “set-DistributionGroup” to achieve the goal. You can get more information from this document: Set-DistributionGroup http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124955.aspx On my test, I use this command to achieve the goal: 1. Create a CSV file named group1234, saved at this path: “c:\group1234.csv” The groups (in CSV file) are saved by this way: ========================================== Identity Group1 Group2 Group3 ============================================ 2. Run this command in Exchange Management Shell: [PS] C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>import-csv -Path "c:\group1234.csv" | Foreach-object {Set-DistributionGroup -Identity $_.Identity -ManagedBy user1, user2, user3} 3. After that, the distribution groups(Group1, Group2 and Group3) are managed by user1, user2 and user3.
