Office 365: Managing On-premise Distribution Groups - ALTERNATIVE

So I've ran into an issue where people can no longer manage the DL's they are the manager of using Outlook after migrating to O365.  Stupid me for not thinking of this sooner.

I wrote that Powershell script yesterday and today I found something even easier.


 %systemroot%\system32\rundll32.exe dsquery.dll,OpenQueryWindow



Create a shortcut with this as the location and it opens up the ADUC (or ADUG) 's find window.  Allowing the user to search for Groups or Users to modify.  If the user in question is the 'ManagedBy' for a Group then they can edit the membership.

Works like a champ and since it's a gui versus a command line window it's more user friendly.
