Hello All.. We have a request to audit our distribution lists to provide a list whose members may contain Active Directory Contacts with an external email address assigned to it This is due to compliance to ensure internal emails sent to a distribution list are not send externally if the contact was added in error. Does anyone know of a query that can be run to report which distribution lists have contacts as their members and also have the ability to exempt certain "known" distribution lists from the results for accuracy.

Hello, This powershell script will print out all distribution groups that have contacts as members. Bill foreach($dg in get-group -resultsize unlimited ) { foreach ($member in $dg.members) { $recipient = ($member | get-recipient -erroraction silentlycontinue) if ($recipient.RecipientType -eq "MailContact") { Write-Host "$($dg.Name) Has external Members" break } } }

this is perfect. Many thanks
