I am looking to forward a mailbox to an internal distribution group, meaning when the message gets forwarded the Distribution Group shows in the To: field of the email and the Subject field starts with FW: . When I use the following command the emails are forwarded to each individual mailbox of the Distribution Group. Set-Mailbox -Identity "<Mailbox_Name>" -ForwardingAddress "<DistributionGroup_Name>" -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true Is there another way or parameters I could added that would allow the emails to be forwarded to the group as a whole? Another strange thing is I get the emails without the FW: in the subject but all the other members of the group receives the email with the FW: but again all the emails are sent to all of us individually. Thanks for reading, XK8Geek

Hi XK8, The distribution groups doesn't have a mailbox. It is kind of a middle man to deliver emails to a group of people. Hence, emails will end up in individual mailboxes. If you want a single mailbox scenario, create a shared mailbox and give access to the required people and forward the email to the shared mailbox.Rajith Enchiparambil | http://www.howexchangeworks.com |

Hi Rajith, The mailbox that we will be forwarding is a shared mailbox. He is a little more information I discovered after your response. Instead of changing the mailbox settings via PowerShell I used the Organize Email section under Options in Outlook Web App. Then configured a rule to forward incoming emails to the Distribution Group. Sent a test email to the shared mailbox and it did exactly what I needed. It forwarded the test email as the share mailbox to the Distribution Group with FW: in the subject. I am trying to automate this process via PowerShell so I can set it on a changing schedule. I compare the mailbox settings between when the rule was set, the command was set, and when nothing was set. The only difference was when the command was set. It seems the rule (application) is doing something to the mailbox but the mailbox can't tell PowerShell what has changed. Any info is appreciated as I continue to investigate. I'm checking out the Get-InboxRule cmdlet...
