Hi All,

I am using an Exchange 2016 hybrid environment with distribution lists (DLs) both on-premises and online. I want to check if user1@contoso.com is a member of any DL (either on-premises or online). Will the syntax below fetch the required information? I need the output to include both the email address and display name. Please guide me.

Get-DistributionGroupMember onpremDL1@contoso.com -ResultSize Unlimited | ? {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress -eq 'user1@contoso.com'}

Get-DistributionGroupMember onlineDL1@contoso.com -ResultSize Unlimited | ? {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress -eq 'user1@contoso.com'}

Hi，@Glenn Maxwell

We can use PowerShell to check if user1@contoso.com is a member of any DL (local or online).

The command you provided checks whether user1@contoso.com is a member of the onpremDL1@contoso.com group.

You can run the following command to retrieve all DLs that contain user1@contoso.com.

Get-DistributionGroup | where { (Get-DistributionGroupMember $_.Name | foreach {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress}) -contains "user1@contoso.com" }

Here are the results of my tests:
