Adding to Distribution List
I am not sure if this should be here or in Exchange. We have a Distribution List where some members have email accounts in our O365 tenant and some members are outsiders. For outsiders we normall...
- Name and Display name are two different parameters, what I'm saying is you should be able to keep display name as "FFF LLLL" while providing a unique value for the Name parameter.
You are absolutely correct. That works perfectly well.
I was fixated on the name since we have others where the mail contact has the same name as an AAD account. We recently changed our process to get the accounts set up more quickly so that new people could get access to resources more quickly - sometimes even before their start date. Prior to the change, the mail contact was set up before their AD accounts.
I appreciate your patience.
Thanks
Name is a unique identifier as samAccountName, in the whole domain, you cannot create a contact, user, or group even with the same name, Active Directory will not allow that.
