SUMMARY
This article explains how an Exchange administrator can add a user's mailbox name to a distribution list (DL).



MORE INFORMATION
To add a user's mailbox name to a DL, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Export the DL to a CSV file, using Tools Directory Export in the Exchange Administrator program.
 * 2) Notice that the members of the DL are listed under Members.
 * 3) Add the mailbox name to the Members section of the exported CSV file. Use the format %Recipients/cn=MailboxName with MailboxName being the name you want to add to the DL.
 * 4) Import the CSV file, and the mailbox will be added to the DL.

Here is a sample of the Members column in the CSV file:

Recipients/cn=MailboxName1%Recipients/cn=MailboxName2%Recipients/cn=Mailbox Name3%Recipients/cn=MailboxName4

If you add %Recipients/cn=MailboxName5 to the above and import the file, MailboxName5 will now belong to the DL.
