I was hoping a I could create a script that would only report back with the groups that are managed by groups. THis will work..just some manual parsing I guess. Try this: get-distributiongroup | foreach { if ($_.ManagedBy -is [object]) { $m = get-recipient ((get-recipient $_.distinguishedname).ManagedBy) if ($m -is [object] -and $m.recipienttype -like "*group*") { $_ | select name, managedby } } } --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Referencing the following article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/05/04/how-to-manage-groups-with-groups-in-exchange-2010.aspx In Exchange 2010, distribution groups can't be managed by groups - only individual users can manage groups. So it's possible that using Exchange 2003, you used groups to manage a distribution group. Group ownership was handled at a different level. Now that these mailboxes have been moved to Exchange 2010, members of these groups can't modify the group. How to I determine what distribution groups are being managed by groups? How would I write this to pull it from AD? I know I need to use a custom script, I am having issues with what ad attribute to look for to accomplish this. thx in advance l1b3r4l

Would this not work? Get-DistributionGroup | fl name, ManagedBy The name of the object in the ManagedBy line should tell you if it's a user or group, right?

Yes, this does work thanks. The only problem is that I have a very large amount of groups. I was hoping a I could create a script that would only report back with the groups that are managed by groups. THis will work..just some manual parsing I guess. Thanks again. l1b3r4l
