Hi, I'm having trouble creating a script, that can change the name, alias, displayname, samaccountname on specific distributions groups. I only have to change the first part of the name on each distribution group from GEN_ to POW_. Hope someone can help me out, since I'm pretty new to Powershell. -Yogi

Yogi; This will do what you want. $groups = Get-DistributionGroup -filter{displayname -like "GEN_*"} foreach ($group in $groups) { $group.name = $group.name.tostring().replace("GEN","POW") $group.displayname = $group.displayname.tostring().replace("GEN","POW") $group.alias = $group.alias.tostring().replace("GEN","POW") $group.samaccountname = $group.samaccountname.tostring().replace("GEN","POW") $group \|Set-DistributionGroup } Note that I have no error checking at all.

Oh, this is on Exchange 2007 SP1, have not tested it on earlier versions.
