Prevent Unsubscribe
Big roadblock to us for our Groups rollout. We want to prevent users from unsubscribing from certain groups. There's certain communications that we want to send to the "All-Hands@company.com" Group t...

MicrosoftYou can't enforce subscripton to groups today and instead users have the option to choose which group hits their inbox. Couple observations:
- Have you considered using the @all options in OWA? (forces a message in everyone's inbox)
- just because a message is in someone's inbox does not mean it gets read and in addition a user can easily create a rule to put that message in "deleted items"
- for important company updates at Microsoft we use a number of channels and not just email: Yammer, Skype, SP intranet
Thank you both for the replies. Yes, @all is exactly what we need, except since it only works in OWA, not Outlook 2016 ProPlus (not even First Release) we're not able to publish it to our users as a solution, it's only a work around. We'd be really excited to see @all included in a future Outlook update.
I haven't been able to find any documentation on @mentions (it's hard to google due to the special char). Does anyone know if any exists that shows the full set of commands available, and illustrates what platforms they're supported on? Which team is in charge of this feature?
I've written a script that solves this issue for now by checking Get-Unified GroupLinks <group> -Linktype Members and pipes the output to a command Set-UnifiedGroupLinks <group> -Linktype Subscribers. We run it daily.
We want to use a group for this DL so people can take advantage of the message archiving features, so new employees can go back and review company-wide communications.

Paul Youngberg could you share your script? I'm looking to accomplish a similar task with a daily PowerShell job in lieu of this functionality being configurable.
