Export all distribution lists from on-premise Exchange and Exchange Online
Hi all Hope everyone is well. We are in the midst of a migration and I need to export all distribution lists from our Exchange on-premise environment and Exchange Online. What's the best way...
Hi Thomas.
We need to recreate the dist lists in the new tenant.

Seven Zhou provides a solution for such a request in this post.
You can run the same cmdlets in step 2 from that approach in an on-premises Exchange organization as well.

- Open Windows PowerShell and connect to Exchange Online PowerShell. Here are the commands:
Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement (Enter Y to install the module)
Connect-ExchangeOnline (Sign in using an admin account and password) - Then run the following script to get a CSV file about Distribution list.
$Groups = Get-DistributionGroup
$Groups | ForEach-Object {
$group = $_.Name
$members = ''
Get-DistributionGroupMember $group | ForEach-Object {
$members=$_.Name
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
GroupName = $group
Members = $members
EmailAddress = $_.PrimarySMTPAddress
}}
} | Export-CSV "C:\DistributionGroupMember.csv" -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
Use the exported CSV file as an input file for creating the distribution list in the new EXO tenant.
