You can use the following command to suppress the welcome message for any new users added to the group as a member. The default value will be set to true for this parameter. So you will need to pass "false" as the value to suppress the welcome message.

Set-UnifiedGroup <groupname> -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled:$<true/false>

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all are safe and doing good.

"Set-UnifiedGroup "MyGropuName" -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled:$false"

This command will disable the welcome message for the members of the group but when the emails are sent to this group the mail will be lying under the "Distribution Group" in Outlook.

Until the users click on Follow Mailbox, the mails will not flow to Inbox of the user.

Is there any way to change it ? So that when the email is sent to this group the mails are directly routed to Inbox of the users mailbox ?

Regards,

Manoj
