Distribution Groups Report – Exchange 2007/2010

Hi Readers,

I am sharing a script that has been written to analyze how many distribution groups are there in the organization,

count of members & whether it is restrictedor not.

It can run with both exchange 2007 & exchange 2010 just change the Shell in the script:

for 2007:

If ((Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -match “Exchange.Management”}) -eq $null)

{

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

}

for 2010:

If ((Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -match “Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010”}) -eq $null)
{

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

}

Sample report:-
