Export Distirbution Lists

Hi need to get the details of all the Distribution Lists we have in exchange.
Is there a way to export the names of all distribution lists, probably with owner details??

Thanks

Just to add: We have Exchange 2007 SP1
So to rephrase, do I need to install Quest tool on exchange box or on DC?

endital1097

no, you could just run
get-distributiongroup -managedby | export-csv c:\groups.csv

iEndital,
I ran the script, it says:

Get-DistributionGroup : Missing an argument for parameter 'ManagedBy'. Specify a parameter of type 'Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.GeneralRecipientIdParameter' and try again.

I am looking to export all DL names and if possible to include DL owner name.
