Hi I'm hoping someone could give us a hand with a powershell script. We are trying to change the Primary SMTP address on all distribution groups to the secondary address. We've turn off the flag for emailaddresspolicyenabled so this shouldn't be a problem. Were able to list the SMTP addresses but not sure how to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated Get-DistributionGroup -Identity "Exch Test" \| list Emailaddresses Thanks,

Get-DistributionGroup \| foreach { # get the first non primary smtp address $new = $_.emailAddresses \| where {!$_.IsPrimaryAddress} \| select -first 1 # make it the primary smtp address Set-DistributionGroup $_ -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:$false -PrimarySmtpAddress $new }

I have a similar issue but is not to change but to add smtp addresses to existing Distribution Lists maintaining existing alias and adding new domain and set it as primary. For example in a DL where it has "group_hr@domain.com" and add "group_hr@newdomain.com" and set has primary. this is to be done in all DL where DL is mail enabled with @domain.com Thanks in advance for any replies

I also have a similar need to be able to add smtp addresses to existing Distribution Lists maintaining existing alias and adding new domain and set it as primary. For example in a DL where it has "group_hr@olddomain.com" and add "group_hr@newdomain.com" and set it as primary. This is to be done in all DL where DL is mail enabled with @olddomain.com.
