Outlook groups - how to send emails from Groups
Hi, Is there a way to send emails from Microsoft 365 groups similar to distribution groups/security groups? I need to use a specific group to send emails rather than individual email addresses I have added the email address to my "From" section but it says I do not have permissions to send from the specific group. I own the group and can't see any option in the group to add permissions so looking for advice on what to do next? Thanks, Áineainekavanagh66Jan 16, 2025Microsoft431Views1like4CommentsCalendar items not sent to new members of group
Hello, I have created some calendar items in outlook that are sent to a group. Whenever I make a change in that group (either add or delete members) this calendar item is not updated. This means that new group members do not receive an invitation for existing meetings. What I need to do to resolve this, is to edit each such meeting, eg make a change in description, and then send it again. Only this way the new group members will get invited. I come from Google, where this feature works flawlessly and it seems very strange for outlook to force me to update each calendar item, just to update the recipients. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of using groups in calendar. Is there any way you can fix this please? Thank you! KostasCombining Office 365 E1 with Microsoft 365 F3
Hello there, One of our customers has free Office 365 E1 licenses as they are a non-profit organization. As they need Enterprise Mobility and Security and had a special price for M365 F3, a good solution would be to add a Microsoft 365 F3 license to that same group of users to add functionality but it seems that this is not possible. I can however not find any resource that confirms that. Can anyone confirm if this is possible or not and where I can find some documentation on this?LieveGDec 18, 2024Copper Contributor51Views0likes1CommentHow to remove the Welcome Message when a new member joins a group.
We are moving from an on-premise Exchange 2013 environment (using Hybrid) and we have to move our DLs to the cloud. I can create them through powershell as a distribution group, but that does not write back to our local AD (using AADConnect). So using the Unified Group commands, I can create them and they write back. The problem is the welcome message. We are not ready for users to use the extra features of the groups, plus we have users that are a part of several hundred DLs, based on what customers they take care of. I see the attribute WelcomeMessageEnabled, but am unable to change that to $False. I have also tried using mail rules to delete the message based on content in subject or body, but again no go. Does anyone have any way of turning these off? This will create a huge helpdesk and support nightmare if I can not turn these off.

I have created an Outlook Group Email, but when the recipients receive the email, they are not able to "Reply All." The reply only comes back to me and not the entire group. How do I change this so they can respond to everyone in the group?PTHOLDRENOct 18, 2024Copper Contributor242Views0likes1Commentdynamic group based on domain join type

Today, we are thrilled to announce that the the Groups admin role in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is now generally available. This new Azure Active Directory role enables you to perform group management tasks for and Azure AD security groups without requiring Global administrator permissions. Users with the Groups administrator role can use the Microsoft 365 Admin center, the Azure portal and other methods to create, edit, delete, and restore groups, and manage Office 365 Groups policies (example - creation, naming, and expiration policies). Figure 1 - Managing Groups in the Microsoft 365 Admin center Figure 2 - Managing Groups in the Azure portal You can provision the Groups admin role using Azure AD PowerShell: #Below steps need to be completed only once to install the Azure AD scripts Install-Module -Name AzureAD #Connect (use privileged role) Connect-AzureAD # Get the user to be assigned the role, replacing foo@contoso.com with the email address of the user $roleMember = Get-AzureADUser -SearchString "foo@contoso.com" # Enable the role for the tenant (skip this step if you have already enabled the role for your tenant). If you have already enabled the role, you will get an error (which you can ignore) $newRole = Enable-AzureADDirectoryRole -RoleTemplateId "fdd7a751-b60b-444a-984c-02652fe8fa1c" # Get the newly added role - replace the role template Id as per need $newRole = Get-AzureADDirectoryRole -Filter "roleTemplateId eq 'fdd7a751-b60b-444a-984c-02652fe8fa1c'" # Add the user to this role - copy the object Id from the output of the above command and use below Add-AzureADDirectoryRoleMember -ObjectId $newRole.ObjectId -RefObjectId $roleMember.ObjectId Limitations There are a few limitations that we are looking to address soon: The admin role is designed mainly for Office 365 groups and cannot manage other group types like distribution groups, mail-enabled security groups or shared mailboxes. This role cannot be used to update a Group’s email address or modify external mail or mail delivery options in the Microsoft 365 admin center. You cannot use Exchange PowerShell cmdlets to manage Office 365 Groups. A Groups admin cannot manage audit logs, access reports, or guest settings. We would love to hear your feedback or suggestions.
