Hi, See the properties of DG in Exchange Management Console, these users must exist in "Managed By" property of each DG, or they might be part of a security group which exist in "Managed By" with "Mananger can update membership list" flag set.

Click the "Advanced..." button and then sort the list by "Permission". Who has "Full Control"? Who has "Write Members" permission? I expect you'll find something like the Everyone group has. If not, check what groups the people are in that shouldn't be able to change the membership of the group. Maybe you've added "Everyone" to the Domain Administrators group? Whatever you do, do NOT deny the Everyone group permissions, just remove the permission (not having permission isn't the same as being denied permission)! --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

If the security settings on both DLs are identical then you'll have to check the membership of the groups that have permissions on the DL (I'd start with the groups that have inherited permissions). You probably have a group containing "normal" users "nested" in some other group that has special permissions. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Okay, so no individual user has the necessarypermission to modify the membership of the groups. What about groups that have permission to modify the memership? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

If none of those groups have permission to modify the group's membership then verify that none of those groups are members of any group that has permission to modify the membership. You might want to first verify that the "adminCount" property of the user is not greater than 1 (or isn't present at all). If the adminCount is greater than zero the user is a member of a protected group. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

If the adminCount is greater than zero the user is a member of a protected group. --- U can use ADSIEdit.msc, which is a builtin tool in Windows 2008, and for windows 2003 u will have to install it after downloading. Open AdsiEdit.msc and go to "Default Naming Context" section, which is like you are browsing AD users in ADUC, and then locate your user and see its propeties. U will find "adminCount" at start.

Then finding out, for each group, whether a person is either a member of that group or indirectly a member of that group (by being a member of a group that's a member of the group with the necessary permission).
