    Hi All, 

    I have so many external contacts in our Exchange 2010 environment.

    Currently those contacts are randomly located on many DL too, I want to prevent the owner DL so he/she cannot modify member for external contacts only, can Exchange do that ?

    If you want to stop a owner of group from adding existing contacts to a group, then no, that cannot be done. Any mail enabled object can be added to the group membership.

    Yes, it seems that you cannot do that by Exchange.

    Frankly speaking, it is the owner's responsibility to manage his group.

    Restricting it by your company's policy is more effective.

    You could hide that external contacts from GAL if you dont use those contacts to send emails directly.

    Hi Frank, nope, already inform the user that Exchange cannot do that.
