1/ Create the new Distribution Group called MyDG
New-DistributionGroup –Name “MyDG” –OrganizationalUnit “domain.local/MyOU” –SamAccountName “MyDG” –Type “Distribution”
2/ Disble Sender Authentication
By default, the Distribution Group reqires that external senders authenticate first before sending email. We need to disable this so that Internet senders can send email to the distribution group.
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity “MyDG” -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $false
3/ Disable Email Address Policy
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity “MyDG” -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false
4/ Change the email address for the distribution group
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity “MyDG” -PrimarySmtpAddress external@dalaris.com
5/ Add member(s) to the distribution group
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity “MyDG” -Member chuongn@dalaris.com
