add members in bulk to Mail enabled security group

Question

Hi all,

Is there a way to add bulk users into a mail enabled security group and if so does any one have some guidance on this

Thanks

You can easily do this via PowerShell. Let's say you have a CSV file with the members, referenced by their UPN value. The following cmdlet can be used to add all users listed in the CSV to a given group:

Import-Csv blabla.csv | % { Add-DistributionGroupMember MESG -Member $_.UPN -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck }
