So is there a way for me to limit an admins access on exchange 2007 for just creating a mail enabled distribution group? If someone has a link or something, let me know. I don't know how far you can narrow down restrictions Thanks

To create new distribution groups, uses need: Exchange Recipient Administrator role Account Operator role for the applicable Active Directory containers http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998856(EXCHG.80).aspx To modify existing distribution groups, users need: Exchange Recipient Administrator role http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124955(EXCHG.80).aspx

Just to add to Andy's post, while Account Operators gives you full control over group objects it is a bit of a blunt instrument and confers a number of additional privileges over other object types (including computer and user objects). The Account Operators group and its members are also protected by the AdminSDHolder, which can sometimes cause confusion. It might be better to create a separate AD group and delegate explicit permissions to that group to create group objects.Alexei
