"Distribution group" in Exchange online
In the Admin Center you can effectively create all types of groups and the related terminology appears to be coherent:
Interesting...so someone has to explain us why in EXO I'm not able to do the same :-)
You are indeed able to do the same!
But you have to pay attention to the "fine print"... ;-)
Wow ! really a fine print. I had missed it. Thanks for pointing out.
So how is Distribution group different from Distribution list or is it just the name that's different. Then why not call it the same at both the places - In Office 365 Admin center and in Exchange admin :-)
Also, the "Security group" created through the Exchange admin is actually Mail-enabled (Notice email creation option in the dialog box). But "Security group" created through Office 365 admin is not mail enabled. Again, why not call it "Mail enabled security group" in Exchange admin and keep it consistent with the "Mail enabled security group" option available in Office 365 admin !!
