It doesn’t appear to allow us to select a security group in the properties of the Distribution Group. Might just have to tell them it’s not supported/possible.

From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Orlebeck, Geoffrey Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 12:14 PM To: '[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>' Subject: [Exchange] Managing Distribution Groups: Is it possible to grant a Cross-forest mail contact rights to manage a Distribution Group? We have two companies running on premise Exchange 2010 SP3 UR7. There is a two-way transitive AD trust and we are running Forefront Identity Manager 2010 with GALSync to create a unified GAL for both Forests. Someone requested to allow a user in DomainA to manage a Distribution Group in DomainB. From what I read, it may not be possible, as the “Recipient Type” has to be one of the following to manage a Distribution Group: • User Mailbox • Legacy Mailbox • Shared Mailbox • Mail User • Linked Mailbox • Remote User Mailbox • Remote Shared Mailbox • User • MailContact <-- This is the one I am wondering if ‘Cross-forest Mail Contact’ does not fall under that category.
