How to remove the Welcome Message when a new member joins a group.
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>

Great update! Did this parameter just get released? It is not currently listed on the supporting technet page for Set-UnifiedGroup.
We are in the process of updating the technet documentation. You will have the documentation updated soon.
Siva Shanmugam Is it possible to set this command for any/all groups both present and future. There is no way to do this with a newly created dynamic group prior to the notification being sent out. I can only disable it after the fact for any new members that get added to the group. Right now the only workaround is to first the create the group as an assigned member group, then disable the notification email, then go back in and convert it to a dynamic group and add members through a rule set. Also, there's no way to adjust the privacy settings when creating a group in AAD and they can't be set after the group is created. Currently you have to create the group through the web admin portal for O365 to even be able to see the option to change the privacy settings on the group when creating it.
- Thank you!
Seems it's a recent addition indeed. I checked all the parameters available for Set-UnifiedGroup in my PowerShell session before posting the other day. Anyway, great news indeed!
