Need some help with creating a distribution list
Hello all-
I am having some issues in creating an e-mail distribution list in AD. (server 2003)
Here is the deal:
There are 2 different OU's, Collections and Credit.
I need to add the credit department to the collections distribution list while keeping the credit e-mails seperate from the collections department.
I tried creating a query-based list that queried the credit department people and stuck it in the collections OU. That did not work. When I e-mail collections the credit people do not receive the e-mail. The weird thing is that I can e-mail the distribution list that I created to query the credit department and they get the e-mail.
I'm guessing I'm either doing something wrong or there is a checkbox that I missed, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

That is what I did. The group I made is called Credit Department Collectors. It is a query based group that pulls the names from the credit group.
ok I haven't tested with a query based group but it does work with global groups for instance
Quick Q,

I just tried creating a global distribution group. I put myself as one of the members of that dist group, put it in collections and sent an e-mail.
still nothing.
still nothing.
ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION
membership
This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
lol np :)
the global or the query based group was fixed?
Then nest that inside of the collections group.
Then all emails going to collections group would also go to the credit group. There would still be a credit group where people could send email too that would be separate from the collections distro/group.
Thanks
