Assign and Remove Membership for Individual Users, Groups, and Contacts
All users, groups, and contacts can be members of other groups. To configure a group’s membership, follow these steps:
1. In Exchange Management Console, double-click the group entry. This opens the group’s Properties dialog box.
2. On the Members tab, click Add to add objects to the group. The Select Recipient dialog box appears. You can now choose objects that should be members of this currently selected group. Select the recipients you want to add to the group and then click OK.
3. To remove a member from a group, select an object, and then click Remove.
When you’re finished, click OK.
In the Exchange Management Shell, you can add members to a group using the Add- DistributionGroupMember cmdlet. The syntax and usage for this is as follows:
Syntax
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity 'GroupIdentity'
-Member 'RecipientIdentity'
Usage
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity 'cpandl.com/Users/CorpSales'
-Member 'cpandl.com/Sales/Kim Akers'
In the Exchange Management Shell, you can remove members from a group using the Remove-DistributionGroupMember cmdlet. Here is the syntax and usage for doing this:
Syntax
Remove-DistributionGroupMember -Identity 'GroupIdentity'
-Member 'RecipientIdentity'
Usage
Remove-DistributionGroupMember -Identity 'cpandl.com/Users/CorpSales'
-Member 'cpandl.com/Sales/Kim Akers'
