Azure AD Security Group - Can I mail enable the group?
- Dec 05, 2017
Nope, you cannot have it all. If you want it to stay dynamic and use it as security principal, it cannot be mail-enabled. If you scrap the dynamic part, you can create Mail-enabled security group in Exchange. If you can leave without the security part, create dynamic DG in Exchange.

Thanks VasilMichev. That is what I suspected. When going with the Dynamic DG in Exchange Admin Center I only have a couple of options, Company, State, Department to choose from. Any way for me to use the Office Location instead without copying it to a custom attribute?

Actually, I think I found the powershell commands.
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "#Test2" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox'
) -and (OFFICE -eq 'TEST OFFICE')}- RobertFormodiJan 31, 2018Copper Contributor
Yes, this will be working. You can use OPATH filter in the -Recipientfilter.

Yup, as usual the UI only exposes some options, if you want better granularity you have to use PowerShell. Office, department, "domain" even can all be used to create DDG. The problem with those however is that you cannot use them to delegate permissions - they are not a security principal.
