I'm looking to find a way to create distribution groups in Exchange Powershell and each group will end with a number up until 50. <br />
<br />
The base group name will be &quot;TestGroup&quot; followed by 001, 002, 003 and so on until 050. <br />
How could you do it in powershell to create the distribution group automatically with the numbering, without having to pre-type it out and import as a text/csv? &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28693587-1">New-DistributionGroup -Name &quot;TestGroup001&quot; -OrganizationalUnit &quot;contoso.com/Users&quot; -SamAccountName &quot;TestGroup001&quot; -Type &quot;Distribution&quot;</code></pre>
