Add user to Exchange DistributionGroup

Is it supported to add a user to a Exchange (2010) DistributionGroup with action "Add the user to a group" (Bussiness rule)? Or do I have to accomplish this via a script?

Thnx Remco

Hello Remco,

Exchange Distribution Lists are represented as Distribution Groups in your AD. By default, Exchange places them to the Users container located in the root of your domain. You can modify the membership of the groups the same as membership of any other AD groups, including membersip modification via Business Rules with the help of the Add to Group / Remove from Group actions.
