How do I create a distribution group with Exchange 2000?

A. Given Microsoft Exchange 2000's tight integration with the Windows 2000 Active Directory (AD), you probably won't be surprised to learn that distribution groups in Exchange are actually AD groups with users as members. You can create two types of groups, Security and Distribution. I list the differences between the two groups below:

Distribution:

When you create a distribution group, Microsoft recommends that you use a universal distribution group (universal mode lets you include members from outside the local domain). To create a distribution group, perform the following steps:

To add users, right-click the group, then select Properties. In the group properties dialog box, select the Members tab, then click Add. For Outlook users, you can also add users by selecting Properties and modifying the members.
