Security Group in Exchange needs email address

We have an old "Customer Service" Security group sitting in AD. It does not currently have an email address. We are using Exchange 2007. How do I assign this security group an email address? I tried creating a new Distribution Group in Exchange, but it says that this object already exists and it points to the security group.

Not to familiar with Exchange 2007, so all help/ideas are welcome.

If exchange states the object exists then it's lilkey already email enabled. what happens when you send email to the DL? can you see the group in the GAL?

This is what happens when I try to email.

What is GAL?

I do not see this group anywhere in the Exchange Management Console. I know for a fact that it exists in AD, but how do I grab it from AD, import it into EMC, and assign it an email.

depending on the functional levels of your forest/domain and grp type..etc you may be able to convert it and email enable it.
