Group Creation Behavior
I ran this:
New-DistributionGroup -Name "Project Aska" -PrimarySmtpAddress Project.Aska@office365itpros.com -DisplayName "Project Aska Team" -Alias Project.Aska Creating a new Remote PowerShell session using Modern Authentication for implicit remoting of "New-DistributionGroup" command ... New! Microsoft 365 Groups are the next generation of distribution lists.
Groups give teams shared tools for collaborating using email, files, a calendar, and more.
You can start right away using the New-UnifiedGroup cmdlet.
Name DisplayName GroupType PrimarySmtpAddress
---- ----------- --------- ------------------
Project Aska Project Aska Team Universal Project.Aska@office365itpros.com
Get-DistributionGroup Project.Aska | ft req*
RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled
----------------------------------
True
RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled is True, so external users can't send to this list. I then checked with EAC and found that the incorrect option appears to be selected:
But when I look at PowerShell again, I find that the property is updated. Something screwy is happening here.
Get-DistributionGroup Project.Aska | ft req*
RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled
----------------------------------
False
Thank you so much for confirming what I was seeing. I thought for sure I had finally lost it. I have a ticket open with Microsoft support. I will keep you guys up date on my progress with Support.
Thanks,
