Exchange Online PowerShell to get Distribution Group Manager Name

  • Article

Hey, we need to get distribution group manager name.

Code 1

 
Get-DistributionGroup -Identity 'PowerShell
 Support' | Select -Property ManagedBy 

Returns:
 
Array of Objects
 
ManagedBy
---------
{Venkatesan, C. (Chendrayan)}

We need to do more processing with display name. Remove {} and get only the display name.

Hold on- this is an array collection. What are you trying to do? What happens if you have more than one manager for a Distribution group?

We need to get Manager email ID.

Code 2

 
(Get-DistributionGroup -Identity 'PowerShell
 Support').ManagedBy 

Returns
 
Venkatesan, C. (Chendrayan)

Code 3

 
(Get-DistributionGroup -Identity 'PowerShell
 Support').ManagedBy | %{Get-MailBox -Identity $_}

Code 4

 
(Get-DistributionGroup -Identity 'PowerShell
 Support').ManagedBy | %{Get-Mailbox -Identity $_ | Select -Property PrimarySMTPAddress}

Enjoy PowerShell :)
