Hi All

Please could someone help with the correct command to run to get a list of users permitted to send to a distribution list.

We have a large number of people in the "acceptmessagesonlyfrom" part but all the commands i run it always only gives me the first 10 or so.

Here is the command I am using..

[PS] C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>Get-Distribution
Group -id "all-uk" | fl name, acceptmessagesonlyfrom | out-file c:\che.txt

I get the info in a file bit it looks like this:

Name : All UK List
AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom : {Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Bla...}

I would like it to list everyone!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Charlie

Hi,
I must confess that this has got me a little stumped. I think the only way (though I could be wrong) is to create your own view as described in:

If you have found an easier way then please let me know as i'm interested in this issue.

Cheers

$MyMembers = Get-DistributionGroup -id "all-uk" | Select acceptmessagesonlyfrom
Foreach ($Item in $MyMembers){

Write-Host $MyMembers.acceptmessagesonlyfrom

}
Cheers

Hi,

Yep... that worked... although in a very unformatted way! but it is the means to an end... i had a quick plat to see if I could get it to format a bit better.. if you remove the "-host" from "Write-host" it will give you a list with the full user AD details..

any idea how i can output that to a txt or csv?

Thanks

Carlie

Hiya you could try;

$MyMembers = Get-DistributionGroup -id "all-uk" | Select acceptmessagesonlyfrom

Foreach ($Item in $MyMembers){

Out-File -Append -InputObject $MyMembers.acceptmessagesonlyfrom -FilePath C:\Dist.txt
}

Hi,
I have a somewhat related question about the acceptmessagesonlyfrom attribute. I apologize if it should be in a separate thread.
What is the syntax to add multiple email addresses (only 2) to mailboxes within a particular OU?
So far, I've got: get-mailbox -organizationalunit trustees | set-mailbox -acceptmessagesonlyfrom user@domain.com... which only adds one address. Subsequent attempts only replace existing addresses within mailbox.
I beleive I need to create a variable with an array assigned to it, but having only read about arrays, I'm having difficulty applying to this context. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. long time reader, first time poster.

Hi

I have not tried this, as we have no need for it in our production environment and my test environment is hosed at present.

have you tried putting user1@domain.com, user2@domain.com, user3@domain.com ?

i.e. separating several users with a comma?

Regards

Charlie
