Hi, I have followed your doco & implemented this for our Exchange 2010 environment. My problem is that we are currently in the process of migrating mailbox from Exchange 2007 to 2010 & unfortunately when a person who is the owner of a 2007 set up group is moved, they no longer have permission to update the members. Do you know how to overcome this problem? Thankyou

mine is a very custom requirement. I have a group of users whom we do not want to be added in any group by our group members. How to restrict group owners by adding these range special users?

I’m missing one vital thing here… I’ve created the OwnerDistributionGroup but how to I add users to it? I see that you just have to add a user to the ManagedBy Permission on a group, but in Outlook the GAL still complains it doesnt have permissions. Seems like there is no tie in with the above procedure and the ManagedBy permission? Maybe AD takes a while to catch up? I cant even add/remove users as an Organization Management admin user in EMC… however I can manage them fine in OWA!

This is exactly the same as before when I had users added to the ‘Recipient Management’ Role.

Didn’t work for me either. Works from OWA, but not from an Outlook 2007 client. Something I’m missing?
