Still receiving Teams Welcome E-Mails after setting -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled to false
I connected to Exchange Online and set the UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled Parameter to false for every Group using this code.
$WelcomeEmailGroups = Get-UnifiedGroup | Where-Object { $_.WelcomeMessageEnabled -eq $True }
#Disable Welcome Email
ForEach($Group in $WelcomeEmailGroups)
{
#Disable the Group Welcome Message Email
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity $Group.Id -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled:$false
Write-host "Welcome Email Disabled for the Group:"$Group.PrimarySmtpAddress
}
Apparently that works because the property returned by this code is now "False" for every group.
Get-UnifiedGroup | Format-List DisplayName,WelcomeMessageEnabled
But if I download the group report from the Azure AD the csv column "mailEnabled" still says "True" for every group. The Users still receive Welcome E-Mails.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
- Didn't experience this, setting it to false should stop new members from receiving welcome messages. It could take some time after changing the setting perhaps? So, change setting and wait a few hours to add new members?

Did you ever find a solution? When I set to false the user doesn't get the Microsoft 365 group email. (SharePoint site). They still get the email saying welcome to the team.
