Office 365 Distribution Lists
I'm guessing you actually mean "Office 365 Groups", in which case the process to restrict creation is explained here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/create-groups/manage-creation-of-groups?view=o365-worldwide
You can also just remove from the Address list in question or edit it's recipient filter to prevent them from showing by default. Another option is to hide them from any address lists, using PowerShell and the Set-UnifiedGroup cmdlet.
It's a feature: see here how to prevent users creating distribution groups.

Hi Chris,
Thank you!
Actually I've already done that via remote powershell. Unfortunately the thing is still happening.

- Set-UnifiedGroup worked for me but I have to do it manually on existing Office 365 groups. Is there anyway to restrict permenantly ?
