AnswerAdding a single user or standard distribution group to a dynamic distribution group

    Hello,

    I have dynamic distribution group that sends to all users in an OU.  Now I have been asked to add a few extra people who are not into that OU to the DDG.  Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks,
    -B

    I would probably create a group with those users in it in the OU and then change the DDG to include groups along with Mailbox's.

    Thanks

    Yes, agree with Will. You can create a group with those users in this OU first. And the group must be mail-enabled group.
    You can directly create the group using EMC:
    Recipient configuration->Distribution Group->New Distribution Group...

    After you create the group, if you choose the "All recipient types" in Filter tag when you created the DDG, you need to do nothing.
    But if you choose the "The following specific types" when you created the DDG, please make sure you also select the "Mail-enabled groups".
