    Hi All

    I have approximately 600 distribution lists on an Exchange 2007 SP1 and I have to list the members of each group and export it to a csv or excel file.

    Is there any quick way of doing this, maybe in powershell?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I have some tests in my environment using Exchange 2007, you can use the following cmdlet to get all the distribution groups and their members and then export them to a csv file.

    $groupmembers = foreach ($group in Get-DistributionGroup) { get-distributiongroupmember $group | select Name,@{n='DistributionGroupName';e={$group.Name}} }
    $groupmembers | Export-Csv C:\DGgroupmembers.csv -NoTypeInformation

    Hope this can be helpful to you.

    Best regards,

    I believe Exchange 2007 still has the Get-DistributionGroupMember command, so you would run the following:

    Get-DistributionList | Sort Name | Get-DistributionGroupMember

    In order to map all group to their members, try the following:

    Get-DistributionList | Sort Name | % { $DlName = $_.Name ; Get-DistributionGroupMember $_ | Select @{E={ $DlName };L='DlName' } }, * | Export-Csv DlMembers.csv -NoTypeInformation

    That is a single line of PowerShell code - you should be able to copy it and ruin it as-is.  If you don't include the $DlName = $_.Name bit, you will get the members but not the DLs they belong to.  HTH ...

    HI Willard 

    I get the following when I ran as is.

    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-DistributionList | Sort Name | % { $DlName = $_.Name ; Get-DistributionGroupMember $_ | Select @{E={ $DlName };
    tion
    The term 'Get-DistributionList' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of
    is correct and try again.
    At line:1 char:21
    + Get-DistributionList <<<<  | Sort Name | % { $DlName = $_.Name ; Get-DistributionGroupMember $_ | Select @{E={ $DlName };L='DlName' } }, *
        + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-DistributionList:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

    Sorry, change 'Get-DistributionList' to 'Get-DistributionGroup' in the command ...
