XCLN: Unable to Modify Global Distribution Lists from Client (262199)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q262199

SYMPTOMS

There may be occasions when a client can and cannot edit the membership of a global distribution list. This behavior occurs if there are multiple global catalogs across different domains.

CAUSE

Global distribution lists are centralized around domain structures; therefore, if a client has connected to a global catalog that is outside of the global distribution list's home domain, the client cannot modify the distribution list's memberships or client permissions.

RESOLUTION

This behavior is by design.
