Office 365 - Outlook Group on Mobile Device
We have a salesperson that frequently needs to communicate with the sales team of the evenings. They want to be able to reach folks from their phone using one or more of the contact groups created i...
Afaik ActiveSync does not support Contact groups, thus you will not be able to use them on mobiles.
VasilMichevis correct (as always... ;-) ).
For this reason I suggested to use DLs, which can instead be accessed by the IOS EAS client.
Thanks for the reply! The problem is ... this is a private group with 3rd party (external) contacts in it. Creating a global/public distribution group would a) make it public, b) require adding the external contacts to our GAL, and c) wouldn't be managable by the end user.
You could use a new Office 365 group, make it hidden from the GAL, etc.
Thanks for the reply, Steven. While technically this would work, the contacts are primarily external and , change periodically.
