Re: Using email for 365 connected yammer group?
I set up all of the groups, so for now I'm a member of all groups. The outside organization is set to true. The other one, I can't change? I set it in 365 admin, click save, when I open it again it's disabled. If I try to do it in exchange admin i get this: I think this has to do with the fact that it's a 365 enabled yammer group. Just sucks that I'll have to make a SECOND group for each team to be able to use email. And since the "groupname@intranet.domain.com" is taken it's going to be "groupname1@...", which will also show up in the address book. Try convincing my users that this is a nice system... Gaaah.Re: Using email for 365 connected yammer group?
Hi again Chris, Yes, it's all been set up like that. As soon as I started a Yammer group, I got the 365 group, sharepoint site, Onenote etc. But, as I wrote, I see the email address in the group admin, but nothing happens when I mail it. They do show in the address book though, which is going to be utterly confusing. "This will create the Office 365 group, the distribution list in Exchange off the back of that, it'll show up in the address book. "Re: Using email for 365 connected yammer group?
Thanks for the answer Christopher, I'm aware of the distribution list and that's the functionality that I'm after. But I'm trying to avoid yet another group to administrate. As it is now, when we get a new member I have to add that member to a group in sharepoint, yammer (365 group), and now a distribution list. That will be too much, and I really just want a simple way for this to work. Like "enable-distributiongroup" on a yammer-group. But that's not possible from what I understand?Using email for 365 connected yammer group?
Hi there, I'm the administrator of our intranet on a small non-profit preschool and I'm having some troubles understanding something. At first I had set up a number of 365 groups for the different work-groups we have, to be able to use sharepoint sites etc. I was looking at ways to increase the usability of our intranet, and I wanted to implement Yammer since it's pretty good at pushing out information to groups or the whole organization. So I redid the groups through Yammer, since I wanted the 365 integration it now brings. But I'm having some problems. In the administration center, I see all the groups I created as 365 groups, and they all have an email address connected to it (groupname@intranet.domain.se). I thought that this email could be used as a 365 group email, where it would show up in outlook for all the members. But when i try to add a group, it throws me to Yammer instead. OK. So I googled like a madman and in some posts, it seems like it should end up in the Yammer-feed for said group, in other posts it says I have to send the mail to groupname+intranet.domain.se@yammer.com. This is not very user friendly... *EDIT: Also, the groupname@intranet.domain.se shows up in the global address list, which will cause a lot of confusion to users.* Soo. Nothing happens when i try to mail groupname@intranet.domain.se. I get an error reply if I disable external communication and send a mail from an external mail account. So it seems something is happening, but what? Where does it end up? I'm really disappointed, since I did all the work and just assumed the mail showing in group admin would go to the members. Setting up a secondary group for outlook for each team is just too much administration.. Any tips on what I should do here? I'd really like for an email sent to groupname@intranet.domain.se, to be sent to all members of that group. And by the way. I've set up logos for each group (png's with black logo on transparent backgrounds), and it's just a horrible experience. In sharepoint, the background is black, meaning the logo is ALL black. But in yammer, it looks like it should with white background.
