5. Add members to the group by clicking on "Add members" and selecting the users or groups you want to add.

Method 3: Using PowerShell

2. Run the following command to create a new distribution group: New-DistributionGroup -Name <GroupName> -PrimarySmtpAddress <GroupEmail> -Members <Member1>,<Member2>,...
3. Replace <GroupName> with the name of the group, <GroupEmail> with the email address of the group, and <Member1>, <Member2>, etc. with the email addresses of the members you want to add.

Tips and Considerations

• When creating a distribution group, make sure to choose a unique email address that is not already in use.
• You can add or remove members from the group at any time by using the methods above.
• Distribution groups are not the same as security groups, which are used for access control and authentication.
• You can use distribution groups to send emails to multiple recipients at once, but you cannot use them to receive emails.
• You can also use distribution groups to automate workflows and notifications in Office 365.
