OWA - Distribution List
Hello All. Exchange 2000 OWA When I open a contact in OWA and want to send a message to that contact, I click on the button to send mail to contact. When I click on the button, the email address for the recipient appears in the To: field. When I do the same for a Distribution List, the distribution address does not appear in the To: field. It remains blank. Is this a confirmed issue in OWA 2000? I have been all of the Internet looking for the answer to this without any luck. Thanks for any comments. _ Try MSN Messenger 6.0 with integrated webcam functionality! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_webcam _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Distribution List exportation
With Exchange 5.5, can I export a distribution list somehow to use as a new Global Group? We have a distribution list with 400+ names in it, and we would like to create a Global Group with the same individuals. Is there an easier way than just adding them manually one at a time? Thanks.

RE: Distribution List exportation
I don't know about creating the global group from an text file, but you can export a DL using the ONDL.EXE utility. It will result in a simply list of display names and aliases if you need them.

We keep our DGs in separate OUs, based on department, then delegate
add/remove group members to a group in each department.
Our security groups are kept in a separate Groups OU.

Ex2K - Distribution List Problems after EntAdmin Errors
Hi, After an Exchange admin at the top of the forest reset the default RUS (@X2k.com.xxx to @W2k.com.xxx) and added a RUS policy that went way beyond the correct scope a lot of stuff went totally pear-shaped here. Lots of people, P/Folders, dist lists and groups got a new default SMTP address on another domain in the forest. This is mostly fixed, all addresses have been corrected and automated updating turned firmly OFF. Now the main hangover is mail-enabled groups and dist lists, messages appear to send but no errors, bounce, ndr or anything stuck in a queue, they just disappear in to the ether. Seems a bit like the trick of deleting unwanted messages to a list with no members - but these lists DO have members. Created a new test DL with same result. Any ideas where to look for a fix? Setup: 3 x W2k SP3 Exchange servers Local DCs and GCs all W2K SP4 - mostly SP4 before forest config error. All AD controllers re-started today, all Exchange services re-started.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Distribution List Clean Up
Do an export of the DL's to a CSV file, review the extract for any high level users (GS-10 or up, O-5 or above, or the rake of Chief Petty officer or above); mark these with a do not delete flag. Any lists that have zero users, delete outright; if the list has three or fewer members, hide the Dl from the Address list and see who screams. For the high level users and the remaining lists, assign an owner and let them take care of it through Outlook. Do a one time recapitulation of the membership of the distribution list addressed to the distribution list so the members can see what lists they are on; just like the radiomen have to on a yearly basis.

Re: Exchange 5.5 Distribution List Clean Up
There are 3rd party tools to manage this, but nothing built into Exchange. One would really need to examine the tracking logs over time to determine the last time a list was used I think.

Re: Distribution List
Okay, that makes it a bit harder. Since the SMTP address is unique within the org you can use it as an index. You'll need to get fancy in Excel. Export the current list and do a matchup between the list you get from Oracle. Use the resulting matched info to create the list for import. Or... Create an access database. Have it programatically watch for the list from Oracle. At that point it does the export and than drags those into it's own database. It creates a subset of the database based on the Oracle input and writes that out as a CSV and than calls admin to import. This way you can practically automate the whole thing.

Distribution List
I have an Excel spreadsheet with 600 smtp e-mail address from some of my internal users and I need to semi-automatically create a Distribution List in Exchange. The DL will be update/recreate every month base on this file extract from an Oracle Database. I can cut and paste those smtp adress in an Outlook message to check/validate user resolution and have the application manager correct the list if necessary.

Re: Distribution List
You could use SED it's a UNIX editor with built in routines for updating the list.

Distribution list membership NOT being shown
I am having trouble finding documents that pinpoint a problem i am having with Membership of Distribution Lists. On some of our dl's, the members are shown, and on other's the members are NOT shown. I checked the pertinent Dist Lists and the advanced tab DOES NOT have a check in hide membership from address Book. I am an exchange admin and can see them but no one else can. The client I use is Outlook 2002 and the other clients are mixed and no one else can see them.

RE: Distribution list membership NOT being shown
It would look like you have to have Hide membership from the address book checked on the Advance tab of the DL, even though you say you don't. Can you recreate the DL (if it is not too large)? If so, does that DL do the same thing? Look at everything on the DL's tabs.

When you say that you can see the members but others can't, do you mean that you can see the members via the Exchange Admin, but can't using Outlook? If that's the case, check to see if the member mailboxes are hidden from the directory.

Distribution List Owner Can't Modify
Hi all, I have a guy here who is owner of a load of distribution lists. He reported to me today that he can no longer modify the list memberships via outlook. I found I could fix the problem by going into the distribution list properties (where he is showing as owner) and re-selecting him as the owner. The only thing I can think of that we've changed recently is putting in two-way trusts between our domains (he is in a different domain to the exchange server). I can't see how this would affect it.

RE: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs .m ailbox
A key difference between a public folder and a mailbox is that with a public folder a status of whether a message is read is maintained for each user who adds it to Favorites. With a mailbox, a message read by one is read by all. That makes a mailbox more suitable for a help desk type activity by reducing the number of people answering the same message.

You need to understand your user's requirements better to determine the best solution. Some tips: - A DL is a good solution for diseminating information (and may be good for passing responsibility between user's inboxes if only one user is on the list at any one given time), but it doesn't allow for any sort of workflow. It will be difficult for a department to determine who has responded to different requests with this solution and a request may end up with multiple differing responses. - A mailbox is a good shared solution. It can be a little more cumbersome to manage than a PF but the department can set up a heirarchy of folders to detail responses and manage workflow. I find it easier to set up 'send as' rights on a mailbox as well. Remember, by default Sent Items defaults to the user's inbox not the 'send as' sent items. If this is a requirement though, I've seen a COM addin that will facilitate. I think it on www.slipstick.com. - PFs are easy for users to get to and are an easy solution to implement and farm out to users. I find that Public Folders are well suited for open-forum items. This mailing list is the perfect example. You can also allow users to create a heirarchy below for management but be careful because PFs often grow like weeds and once there it can be tough to remove/organize once user's get used to it. Public Folders also offer some enhanced web folder capabilities if you really want to push the envelope but that is probably more than what you need. There are lots of solutions but the best one will depend mostly on the requirements being satisfied. Find out how the department wants to collaborate/coordinate efforts, basically understand the desired workflow. Good luck!

RE: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs . m ailbox
For DLs, you just create the name of the DL and assign the person who requested the DL Ownership. They then add/delete as needed and you don't need to be involved. For something like your request, I would think that a shared mailbox would fit best but of course it all depends on how your users work. I don't much care for public folders because they do get out of hand and there is that bit about the limits don't actually limit anything. -Original Message- From: Jim Helfer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 9:59 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs. m ailbox A user came to me with a request to set up a new GAL Distribution list for the members of a commitee, for the purpose of having a place that other employees can e-mail questions and have them addressed by members of the commitee (it's a CAD Standards commitee, and people have been using the excuse that they don't know who to ask when they have questions about the proper rules).

RE: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs . m ailbox
We use PF's (Public Folders) with Alert scripts that notify a selected group of a new entry. (I tweaked a script I found on CDO Live.) This works well because when many persons receive a message via DL, everyone thinks the other guy will take care of it and frequently no one does. It was also a pain to all members trying to track down who did. With PF's the person who takes care of it moves it to a sub folder so that everyone can see it has been dealt with.

I don't quite understand how to delete the orphan's the doc seems to indicate one path but then says (which doesn't seem to be explained) ..well ok if orphan does show up then do the Y which is stated here..BUT watch out if you ever want to replicate again. what am I missing. I MS exch Admin to the OLD svr server name (riker) PIS PFR I see the orphan (INFO) on the left.

RE: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs . m ailbox
We strongly our users to use Public Folders. Instead of the users posting to them, however, we just set an address on it and let them email to it. Most users aren't aware of whether they are sending to a mailbox or PF anyway. When we create the folders we don't grant the users access to create sub-folders so that they don't get out of hand. We also ensure that all folders have a retention time set (even if it is a year or more) so that if the folder is abandoned, it will clean itself out. The other thing that PFs help with is that users can see the folder in the structure or they can get to it with a URL on their web pages. With the mailbox, I need to show each user monitoring the address how to add it to their profile. We found that with DLs, the more people on the list the less each person takes action.

They then add/delete as needed and you don't need to be involved.

Distribution List question
Hi all, I'm working with E2k sp1 on Win2k, and I'd like to let a user manage a DL that is made up of users from a subdomain of the domain in which the user and the exchange server reside. I've made the user the manager of the DL, and added the user to the security tab for that list with full control. The user is on Outlook 2000 and when she attempts to add a user she gets the Changes to the distribution list membership could not be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object error. Checking the MS KB, there is a Q (Q262199) that claims it is not possible to modify DL's when there are multiple global catalogs across different domains. As far as I know, the Global Catalog is across domains by default, yes/no? Which means to me I have only one global catalog. If I don't, does anyone have any workarounds for this situation? As an Admin, I can edit the lists from my outlook client, but I'd rather not give this user elevated permissions beyond whats needed for that list itself if it is at all possible.

Can any one shed light on this? We have Exchange 5.5 and Outlook XP, One of the users was adding a contact to a Distribution list and the list will not accept anymore members to the list. That is the easy part. We created another list since that one was full and everything works fine. She now wants to go back to the 1st list and remove members that no longer want to be on that list and it will not allow you to remove anyone. Error message: This distribution list is too large to save on your network e-mail server. Please remove some members or put some of the names into a separate, smaller list bla bla -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 11:14 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: 552 Exceeded Local Data Allocation Limit Your oversnipping leaves your messages with no context.

Distribution List
Greetings all... I need to send an html newsletter to about 200 associates external to the company. What is the easiest way to send such a message without too much effort. Creating a distribution list for this many contacts seems impractical. Is there a way to import smtp addresses to a distribution list from an external source such as a database? Would like to accomplish this without buying extra software, if possible. Thanks for your help. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
