IN AD I have a OU call Seattle, under that I have two OU's. Employees1 and Employee2. Each OU is populated with different Exchange 2013 / AD accounts.

When I create a Dynamic Distribution group for mailing, can I just specify the OU to Seattle and it will automatically filter down to both users?
(Dynamic Group is set to of course, mailbox user only)...

Thank you.

Brett

Hi Brett:

Please try the following command in EMS:

New-DynamicDistributionGroup -IncludeRecipients MailboxUsers -Name "Employee1 Users" -OrganizationalUnit "CU1.com/Seattle/Employees1"

Additionally, we can also use EAC to create the Dynamic Distribution group with specific OU:

Hi Winnie, you missed my question.
I figured it out tho...
using this example and edited it for my purposes showed all users in all sub folder OU's.

$MarketingDepartment = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup -Identity "Marketing Department"
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $MarketingDepartment.RecipientFilter -OrganizationalUnit $MarketingDepartment.RecipientContainer

So it should stand to reason when someone wishes to send to this dynamic distribution group, all mailboxes in in the below OU's will get the emails...

So sending to Domain\Sites\Seattle will deliver to users in:
Domain\Sites\Seattle\Employee1
Domain\Sites\Seattle\Employee2

thank you
