Send on behalf - distribution group

[biglebowski]

We have a distribution group for the project team that has 3 members. These users now want the ability to send emails from this email DG address.

The DG is mail enabled (projects@domain.com)and I have tried adding the permission using the shell command

Set-DistributionGroup -Identity Projects -GrantSendOnBehalfTo UserName

But when the users send from the projects@domain.com address they get a failure message saying that they don't have permissions to send as for this user.

What am I missing?

Hi have you looked here?

I've already tried that but it still doesn't work. I can find lots of references on how to set it up in other forums but no one has actually come back saying that it is working.

Perhaps this isn't possible???????

I've been given the following shell command from MS support but this doesn't work either:

Add-ADPermission "Distribution Group" -User "Domain\User" -Extendedrights "Send As"

No, I can confirm that following this does give me the ability to send as a group, but I am a member of the Exchange Admins as well. What permissions are set within AD for the group's security tab for the person?

 

[biglebowski]

I've given the users "send as" & "send to" and myself "full control" but I'm also an exchange admin & domain admin.

And obviously being Ex Admin you can send as group no problem yourself. I have given one of my users ssend as permissions - one the sync is complete I'll come back to you on this.

I can't send as a group either, nobody can.

Is this on Exchange 2007? If so, have you applied SP1? All our Ex admins can send as anyone or any group by default.

Maybe this will work,

Add-RecipientPermission -Identity DL@ADDRESS -user DL@ADDRESS
