Script Repository

Copy membership in distribution lists between Microsoft 365 users

The script copies membership of a user in Microsoft 365 (Office 365) distribution lists to the current user. The source user is stored in the DN property (e.g. Assistant) of the target user. The script must be executed in a business rule triggering after modifying the property.

Parameter:

  • $sourceUserDNAttribute - Specifies the LDAP name of the property that is used to store the source user.
