Admin center for Outlook Groups?

Hello, I'm new here. I'm having problems with Outlook.com's Shared calendar (sync does not work anymore) so I'd like to use Outlook Groups instead.

First things first, the Outlook Destop app does not allow me to edit many group options, so I'd like to know if there is a web based "control panel" for my Outlook group?

I need to edit my group's email alias.

Thanks

David

    Below cmdlet, will set the new primary email address for the group.

    set-unifiedGroup -Identity <GroupName> -PrimarySMTPAddress <new email address>

     

    To remove the old email address, run the below one along with the first cmdlet.

    set-unifiedGroup -Identity <GroupName> -EmailAddress SMTP:<newemailaddress>

      Hi, thanks to you both.

      I tried to run :

      set-unifiedGroup -Identity "My Group" -PrimarySMTPAddress "mygroup@mydomain.com"

      and here is the error message I got :

      set-unifiedGroup : The term 'set-unifiedGroup' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At line:1 char:1
+ set-unifiedGroup -Identity "My Group" -PrimarySMTPAddress "myemail ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (set-unifiedGroup:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

      Is there something I should do before running the commands?

      Thanks

      David
