Hi, I want to change the Allow Only members to view group (Who can view the membership of the group?) setting of a sharepoint group. How can I achive that? In .Net object Model we have 'OnlyAllowMembersViewMembership' property for Sharepoint group. Is there any property like it in powershell? Thanks

Hi RonakJ, Actually, we start to support PowerShell for SharePoint from SharePoint 2010. In SharePoint 2007, in order to use PowerShell to update properties of SharePoint, we need to involve the SharePoint object models from PowerShell as shown below: [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load(“Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c”) [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load(“Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c”) $spsite=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite](“http://localhost/sites/intranet“) $spweb = $spsite.openweb() $group = $spweb.Groups["SPGroupOnlyAllowMembers"] $group.OnlyAllowMembersViewMembership = $true $group.update() $spweb.update() If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
