Group Creation Behavior
Thanks for the test. But this is for a standard distro group. not for unified groups/Microsoft 365 groups. Can you check using the regular new-distributiongroup cmdlets?
thanks
Same behavior though:
[19:25:25][Login script]# New-DistributionGroup sdfghj
Name DisplayName GroupType PrimarySmtpAddress
---- ----------- --------- ------------------
sdfghj sdfghj Universal sdfghj@michev.onmicrosoft.com
[19:25:31][Login script]# Get-DistributionGroup sdfghj | ft Name,Req*
Name RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled
---- ----------------------------------
sdfghj True
Also TonyRedmond as an FYI
- Hmmm, so apparently I had to wait a second... checking this morning I see the same behavior:
[08:52:51][Login script]# Get-DistributionGroup sdfghj | ft Name,Req*
Name RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled
---- ----------------------------------
sdfghj False
And I see absolutely no trace of this in the event log. Check the admin audit log in Exchange/Unified Audit log on your end?Here are my admin audit logs: showing settings. no changes made after group created. I also checked the unified audit logs and only see one instance of new-distributiongroup and no other mentions of *distributionGroup*
Showing settings when creating group and no other changes to group
Thought not shown here, if you use the option RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $True its ignored and the group is still allowed to accept messages from all senders.
However this only occurs in my companies test and prod tenants, it does not in my tenant.
That's so strange when I do it, I get the same results as you but then if I check "accept messages from" its set to senders inside and outside.
Its almost like it changes the settings on its own.
