Users in a child domain get access denied when they try and change the membership of distribution lists (through Outlook). They have been granted write access to'members' property.These users can modify the membership if they use Active Directory Users and Computers, but not if they use Outlook.

it's always been recommended that Distribution Groups be created as "Universal"-scope groups...Susan Conkey [MVP]

Thanks for the reply. They are Universal.

Whether they can modify the contents of a DL from Outlook depends onwhich Global Catalog server Outlook is using. If it's using a GC on aDC in the same AD domain it shold work. If Outlook is using a GC on ain then it won't work.The mailbox and DL need to be in the same AD domain, and the GC usedby Outlook needs to be in that same AD domain. If this isn't the casethen Outlook is using a GC that has a read-only copy of the directorydata.---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
