Director of IT

How do we add current Active Directory groups to the Exchange 2013 for emailing groups?

Thanks

You can mail enable the existing groups from the EAC or with PowerShell: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998916%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Thanks for the link for the PowerShell command.

Is there instructions on how to accomplish this through the EAC GUI? (that is how we did it for Exchange 2010).

Thank you

Sorry, I was wrong when I said you could use the EAC...that's something you can only do with the EMS. Apologies for the confusion

Hi,

EMS - Exchange Management Shell.

So, MS is making the administration of accounts much more time tedious - moving common admin tasks that used to be completely easily in the GUI with commands?

This makes it much more time consuming to manage.

Who is making these decisions?

Not a happy customer - perhaps we should look at a different email system.

The continuing move to command line administration of Microsoft products is spreading. The good thing about it is that it's centralised on PowerShell, so what you learn administering Exchange you can apply to the other Microsoft based technologies in your infrastructure.
It's worth the effort...

Not worth the effort

I just talked to 10 IT Directors and none of them welcome this change.

Microsoft is working for who?  Not me.

New CEO is supposed to be focused on the client.

Your response is a typical MS politically correct answer - not an honest answer.

Prior administration - a few easy to use clicks

New administration - convoluted programming language commands that are error prone

Your new CEO would not be proud of your response

Not a satisfied client - perhaps you could share this with your MS Team
