Example 13-14 1

PS C:\>Set-DRADynamicDistributionGroup  -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier    "CN=GROUP123,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp" -Properties @{IncludedRecipients="MailUsers";Moderators="CN=George,CN=Users,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=corp";EnableModeration=$true}

This example updates some of the properties for the group GROUP123 in MyDomain.corp. The identifier contains the distinguished name for the group. Three properties are updated: IncludedRecipients, EnableModeration and Moderators. To see the complete list of available properties, perform a Get-Member command on the object returned from any DRADynamicDistributionGroup command.

Example 13-15 2

PS C:\>Set-DRADynamicDistributionGroup -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "GROUP123" -Properties @{ManagedBy=CN=George, CN=Users,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=corp";Description="updated description"}

This example updates some of the properties for the group GROUP123 in MyDomain.corp. The Identifier specifies the name of the group. When the identifier format is the name, DRA resolves the name to the full distinguished name.
