Exchange Distribution Group Reports
Distribution groups in Active Directory are used to create email distribution lists for sending messages to multiple recipients. Exchange distribution group reports provide administrators with detailed insights into distribution group configurations, scope settings, and message acceptance policies.
These reports help administrators manage email distribution lists, monitor group membership, ensure proper message routing, and maintain compliance with organizational communication policies. Understanding distribution group settings is essential for effective email communication management and controlling message distribution across the organization.
Distribution Group Exchange Reports
The Distribution Group Exchange Reports section provides specialized reports for managing and auditing Exchange-enabled distribution groups. These reports help track distribution group types (local, global, universal), empty groups, message acceptance settings, and various distribution group configurations. All reports support custom LDAP filters for more targeted results.
