MICROSOFT OUTLOOK Error? – Looking for Help

Asked By muench don 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/23/2012

Hello,

I am a user of Microsoft outlook for a few months now. I am facing a problem regarding the addition of a mail enabled group to a public folder. Whenever I try to do so, an error appears:

Microsoft Office Outlook 

One or more users cannot be added to the folder access list. Non-local users cannot be given rights on this server.

                                                                      OK

I tried to resolve this issue of mine but couldn't succeed. I tried to change the mail enabled group from distribution to security but again I got the same warning. Has anybody of you faced such a query? If yes kindly tell me the solution. Where am i supposed to set the distribution group. Why are they not giving me the rights to this server?

Anxiously waiting for your replies,

Regards,

Jerry

Hi,

If you are adding a security group through” Active Directory Users”, you will see a “Universal Distribution Group” called “TestGroup”.

 

 

Change the Group Type to “Universal Security Group” and refresh Exchange System Manager.

Now if still Outlook gives error proceed to further step.

 

Now run the following Powershell command in the Exchange Management Shell which will fix the next error.

“Set-Distributiongroup –identity {group name}”

 

 

If the above command gives some kind of error then use following command instead,

 

“Set-Distributiongroup–identity {group name} –MemberDepartRestriction Closed”

 

Hope that works!
