Re: Distribution group kept changing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Could be anything, public folders, calendars, folders in a mailbox. Trying to locate the resources the group is being applied to could be extremely difficult unless you have a very small deployment or you have scripts that can enumerate through all permissions.

Thank you for your explanations again. So, I have to find which exchange resources these group are applied security on? Most likely, which exchange resources could they be assigned to?

Thank you again.

joe is saying the same as I am, however in another way

let me try to rephrase...

if a distribution group is being used to secure ANY exchange resource, exchange will security enable the group....with "security enable the group" is what is meant by converting a distribution group to a security group

Thanks for your reply. I do not understand what you mean and sorry.

These groups we created are distribution groups and for email purposes. Why
do they change to security group?

You can fix it by uninstalling Exchange.

Exchange will automatically switch the group type for any group anyone,
and I mean anyone, even your most untrusted lowly user, that has a
mailbox and chooses to use the group to secure something in Exchange.
Either a calendar or a mailbox folder or a public folder.

You cannot disable this.

Hi all,

I do not know why many distribution groups switched back to the security
group. then I manually changed them back to distribution groups and switched
back to the security group again after two or several days.

Do you know how to fix this? We are win2K3 R2 envir.

Thank you.
