Alias
HelloRoger Roger !
There are several ways to get this done.
I'll give you one GUI based method and one PowerShell /Exchange Shell method
GUI Version:
- Open EMC ( Exchange Management Console ) on your Exchange server
- Go to "Recipient Configuration-->Distribution Group"
- Right click your distribution group and choose "properties"
- Choose the "E-mail addresses" tab
- Click add
Shell method:
- Open up EMS ( Exchange Management Shell )
- Type the following commands note that my groups name is sales, replace sales with your own group. Also replace "alias@domain.com" with your wished alias.
$Group = Get-DistributionGroup "sales"
$Group.EmailAddresses +="Alias@domain.com"
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity "sales" -EmailAddresses $Group.EmailAddresses
The 3 above commands will do the following
1: Gets the Distribution group and saves it to a variable called $Group
2: It gets the current email addresses of the group and then adds "alias@domain.com" to that list in the variable
3: Sets the groups email addresses using the list from the $Group variable.
Let me know if this helps!
