Hi I created a exchange distribution group a while back, with 10 members. Now, these 10 members of this distribution group need to be added to security permissions on a folder. I have tried creating a new security group in AD, however when I click "member" , the exchange distribution group I want to use isn't available How do I elegantly link a members from a distribution group to permissions of a shared folder, so that if a member is added or deleted to the exchange distribution group, it also updates the permissions on the folder? I understand that it is no longer possible to convert a distribution group into a security group, which I believe would resolve this issue. I'm using SBS 2008 Thanks

Can someone advise if this command works on SBS 2008?? Set-Distributiongroupidentity <DistributionGroupIdParameter> This is the error. The term 'Set-Distributiongroup-identity' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of At line:1 char:31 + Set-Distributiongroup-identity <<<< + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Set-Distributiongroup-identity:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Set-Distributiongroup -identity ^ Try it with a space between group and identity.Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

You can just follow the blog given by Swapnil to do that. After you change the group to USG, you can grant permission to that group. You can follow this document to run Set-DistributionGroup Set-DistributionGroup http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124955.aspx Thanks, EvanEvan Liu TechNet Community Support
