Create mail enabled security group office 365

Here are the steps to create a mail-enabled security group in Office 365:

Prerequisites:

• You have an Office 365 tenant with the necessary permissions to create a security group.
• You have the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) module for PowerShell installed on your machine.

Step 1: Create a security group

Open PowerShell and run the following command to create a new security group:

New-AzureADGroup -DisplayName "Mail Enabled Security Group" -MailEnabled $true -MailNickname "mesg" -SecurityEnabled $true

This command creates a new security group with the display name "Mail Enabled Security Group", mail-enabled, and security-enabled.

Step 2: Add members to the security group

You can add members to the security group using the following command:

Add-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId <groupObjectId> -RefObjectId <userObjectId>

Replace <groupObjectId> with the object ID of the security group you created in Step 1, and <userObjectId> with the object ID of the user you want to add to the group.

For example:

Add-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 -RefObjectId 98765432-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

Step 3: Verify the security group is mail-enabled

Run the following command to verify that the security group is mail-enabled:

Get-AzureADGroup -ObjectId <groupObjectId> | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MailEnabled

This command should return True if the security group is mail-enabled.

Step 4: Configure the security group's email address

You can configure the security group's email address using the following command:

Set-AzureADGroup -ObjectId <groupObjectId> -Email <emailAddress>

Replace <groupObjectId> with the object ID of the security group, and <emailAddress> with the email address you want to assign to the group.

For example:

Set-AzureADGroup -ObjectId 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 -Email "[email protected]"

Step 5: Verify the security group's email address

Run the following command to verify that the security group's email address has been updated:

Get-AzureADGroup -ObjectId <groupObjectId> | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Email

This command should return the email address you configured in Step 4.

That's it! Your mail-enabled security group is now created and configured in Office 365.
