change DL to security group using Powershell in Exchange 2010

Hello

I'm looking for a PS command that will change a DL to a security group.

I know I can do this in AD so not need to tell me how to do it there.

Regards

Hi there, I have gone to 2013 now but in 2010 I used this PS command:

Enable-DistributionGroup -Identity "name of group goes here"

hope that helps!

Hello,

Doesn't that command mail enable a distribution list which by default in 2010 is already mail enabled.?

Thanks

Sorry you are correct, try this one

Set-DistributionGroup -Name "name of group goes here" -Type Security

Hello,

I have tried that already and no success.

[PS] C:\>Set-DistributionGroup -Name myDL@mydomain.com -Type Security
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Security'.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-DistributionGroup], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Set-DistributionGroup

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Sorry, I got that from the 2013 Command list, in looking thru 2010 commands I do not see any that will work the same. My apologies!
