Setting Unified Group properties via API
Dear Berend
Yes is looks like you can use the Graph API to update these as well. That is pretty cool.
You have to find the directory template object for "Unified groups" using the API and then reference that template when updating the particular group.

Love the Microsoft graph. Sounds like another addin that we can create that would make it easier to update these settings. Let's collaborate if you like. You can schedule a quick online meeting with me using our https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/DeCarloSoftware2@decarlosoftware.com/bookings/ Use the option for the free "Products questions and answers" session. If not I will let you know after we create the addin.
Thanks for your response. Interessting with the directorySettingTemplates. Unfortunately it looks like it does not solve my problem, because the template does not expose the welcome mail and GAL settings.
Dear Bernd
I see that now. Those settings are on the mailbox in exchange rather than the Group. I put together a quick app with a button on the Groups ribbon "update settings". That pops a Custom task pane in Outlook with a simple update on the mailbox settings for that group. Is that what you are looking for?Let me know more details and as I said we can work together. https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/DeCarloSoftware2@decarlosoftware.com/bookings/
Hi Don,
Thanks for your reply. I would be interested in how you get/set these values on the exchange mailbox. I cannot see the attributes exposed in either Exchange REST nor Microsoft Graph API.
I am looking for an automated way to this. So, an Outlook add-in does not solve my issue...
