Tag: OWA Distribution list management

Microsoft announced a new component for OWA distribution list management but clearly the engineers never took role assignment policy customizations into account. If they had, they wouldn’t have created something that ignores the way organizations block end user ability to create new distribution lists. It’s just a sad indication of Microsoft’s attitude to one of the workhorses of Exchange.

It would be nice to report that Microsoft’s new My Groups page delivers great user-centric group management portal, but it doesn’t. My Groups can’t deal with distribution groups (lists), which is surprising because distribution lists are a valid Azure AD group type. What’s worse is that the OWA option to manage distribution lists doesn’t work any more. There’s little evidence of Microsoft joined-up thinking here.
