Hi, is it possible to create a group with users based on a assigned license? So i want to include all users into this specific group who has e.g. an E3 license assigned, but not an E5. It seems, that the only way is to use the a ServicePlan name, not a SKU name, isn't it? Even better would be a dynamic membership rule based on the SKU, not on a ServicePlan. What i tried to do: 1. Get-MsolAccountSKU to find out the SKU name 2. Created a dynamic group without knowing which syntax to use :D 3. Used this dynamic membership rule as a workaround: (user.assignedPlans -any ((assignedPlan.service -match "NAME") -and (assignedPlan.capabilityStatus -eq "Enabled"))) (I found the ServicePlan names via Get-MsolAccountSku | Where-Object {$_.SkuPartNumber -eq “ENTERPRISEPREMIUM”} | ForEach-Object {$_.ServiceStatus} Thank you ina advance.

We are moving from an on-premise Exchange 2013 environment (using Hybrid) and we have to move our DLs to the cloud. I can create them through powershell as a distribution group, but that does not write back to our local AD (using AADConnect). So using the Unified Group commands, I can create them and they write back. The problem is the welcome message. We are not ready for users to use the extra features of the groups, plus we have users that are a part of several hundred DLs, based on what customers they take care of. I see the attribute WelcomeMessageEnabled, but am unable to change that to $False. I have also tried using mail rules to delete the message based on content in subject or body, but again no go. Does anyone have any way of turning these off? This will create a huge helpdesk and support nightmare if I can not turn these off. Thanks, Jason.Solved161KViews0likes36CommentsFeature update: Email sending behavior for Groups in Outlook
We have recently fixed the email sending behavior to a group, where senders had complained about receiving the emails they send to a group, back in their personal inbox. With this fix, senders will no longer receive the emails they send to a group, back in their personal inbox. The sender can receive email sent to group in there Inbox, they have to login to there mailbox using OWA, and then Settings->Mail->Groups->"Send me a copy of email I send to a group" The primary complaints we heard were about reading the same message users sent to a group multiple times - in their sent messages, and their inbox. We believe sending an email to a person or to a group should be consistent, and this circling back of an email from a group was just leading to confusion, unnecessary triage, and inconvenience for a lot of our users. We understand that some users had started using this inconsistent behavior as a way to confirm if their emails were delivered to a group. An email sent to a group is already available in the group's conversation archive as well as in the sender's sent email. Update (4/7/2017): Thanks for all your valuable feedback. Though a good majority of our users have embraced this change for Groups, there's also a section of our users who complained about this change affecting their workflows. We value all the feedback from our users and hence we are considering enhancing this feature to address the negative feedback. Please watch this space for further updates on this feature in the coming weeks.Solved133KViews10likes108CommentsCannot add a "contact" in Exchange Online to an Office 365 Group as a Guest
Looks like this is an issue - I have successfully been able to add external recipients as guests in an Office 365 Group if they are not listed in the GAL, however when I come to add a contact listed in the GAL as a guest, I receive the below warning; "You are trying to add a contact created by your admin. Contact your admin to add the user as a guest to this group" Help please. ThanksSolved66KViews6likes31CommentsGroup Calendar in Outlook 2016
Is this how Group Calendar should work? I open Group Calendar from Outlook 2016 client (ver. 1803) with Open Calendar >> From Address Book. In Group Calendar I can see my own personal calendar meetings as busy/out of office. Why my own meetings/appointments are showing in the Group calendar? Also some O365 Group Calendars are listed under My Calendars in Outlook 2016, but some I need to explicitly open and then they are added then under Shared Calendars. Where is this inconsistency coming from?62KViews2likes26CommentsHiding Office 365 Groups Created by Teams from Exchange Clients
Teams now hides the Office 365 Groups that it creates from Exchange clients (Outlook, OWA, and the mobile apps). That’s as it should be for groups created for new teams. If you want to hide groups created for older teams, you can run the Set-UnifiedGroup cmdlet, but that soon becomes boring when you might have hundreds of groups to process. PowerShell to the rescue once again. https://www.petri.com/hiding-office-365-groups-exchange-clients60KViews6likes30CommentsChange O365 group email address using powershell

Groups in Outlook is being used by millions of users worldwide to improve collaboration and be more productive working with a group of people – be it for project collaboration, organizational groups or classroom groups. One key feedback we have received from you is that users sometimes miss group events as the invites sent to a group do not show up in the members' personal calendars. Responding to this feedback around lost or missed group calendar invites, we will soon be rolling out a key enhancement to group calendar feature. With this enhancement, members of a group would always receive a copy of an event that was sent to a group in their personal inbox (in addition to the group mailbox), irrespective of their subscription settings for that group. Members can then action (accept/tentative/decline) on that invite just like they do for their personal calendar invites in their inbox. This way, members will always be in the know of all the group calendar events, and the event organizers can confidently create events without the fear of members missing events. Thanks for your continued feedback for O365 Groups, and keep it coming. This enhancement will be available to all O365 Groups users in the coming weeks. So, take it for a spin and let us know how you feel.
