when icreate in ad a distribution group and when i add an email addresfor that distribution group in ad, will that email addres show up in my exchange 2007 management console ????Will it ad a mailbox??

Hi,Actually the correct way to create mail enabled distribution group is, use Exchange Management Console or Exchange Management Shell. These are Exchange aware tools so when you create DG, Exchange related attributes will be stamped correctly on the DG object.How to Create a New Distribution Grouphttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998301.aspxWhen you create DG in EMC/EMS, it doesn't create a mailbox it is just a logical bucket to add various mailboxes, other distribution groups or contacts.If you create DG in AD with Remote Management tools, you need to make it mail enabled in EMC/EMS to use it properly.How to Mail-Enable a Distribution Grouphttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997448.aspxAmit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hi Amit,About the How to Mail-Enable a Distribution Group solution, when i do this and i click browse, i only see some default distribution groups(like enterprise admins,exchange servers, enterprise read only domain controlers,..) but i dont see the distribution groups/ i cannot browse for the distribution groups i created in AD.??
