How do I Import a distribution list from an email attachment
I am trying to save a distribution list from an email that someone sent me. I don't know how to do this without having to type in all of the contacts individually and then manually creating my own distribution list. Is there an easy way to do this? What version of Outlook are you using? What type of attachment is this? Excel document?

Distribution Lists as Security Grouping
Hello Newsgroup, Very quick question. Why is it that I am unable to use my Exchange DL in assigning permissions to a Public Folder?

Distribution List Creation on OUTLOOK 2002 with Exchange Server
I am having this problem on several systems after the upgrade to SBS2K with Exchange Server 2K.

Distribution lists no longer working
Hey folks any input appreciated here... 2 Exch2K3 servers in 1 administrative group. Mailboxes and distribution lists for users in office two were recently migrated from 1 server to the other. Since then users on server1 can no longer send to distribution groups on server2 which contain users whose mailboxes reside on server2. When using Outlook 2000 (XP or 2003 as well) clicking the TO button and browsing the global address list I see the distribution groups, but when looking at the properties of the group none of the migrated groups have any members displayed in the members box on the rig...

In an Outlook Distribution List, How do I display Last Name First

I'd like this to show Last Name first also. How can these format changes...

PING distribution list
Hi there, I would like to test the distribution group in Exchange 2003 or 5.5.

Operation Failed when inviting distribution lists to meetings

When they select the list, they get "Operation failed", they click OK and the dist.list is added to the attendees list but the free+busy is not updated and only diagonal bars are seen. These users can invite the users separately one by one without problem. The only problem is with the dist. lists. How can I solve the problem?

Outlook 2007 Cumulative Update: is the limit on the number of members of private distribution lists finally gone?
Hello, I think I read that the Outlook 2007 Cumulative Update released a couple of weeks ago removes the limit on the number of members that a distribution list in a user's Contacts folder could have - does anyone know if that it is indeed correct? I can't find any direct reference to it on the web so maybe I misunderstood. It's very important to us because we're migrating from another mail system where users had private lists with hundreds of members and we've had to tell them to use categories instead. Thanks to anyone who could confirm this, - Alan. "Alan"...

Cannot Change Distribution List Membership Though Outlook
I've got something misconfigured on my Exchange Server (2003), but I don't know where to look to fix it. We've got a multi-domain setup where all mail servers are running in the top level domain. We've created additional Recipient Policies for each sub-domain and the sub-domains have had /domainprep run on them to update their AD Schemas. Mail routing works fine as does any other day-to-day operation. The exception has to do with distribution list managers not being able to update the membership of any DL they manage. I've made sure that each DL has a manager se...
