Update-Group

The Update-Group commandlet modifies the membership of a Smart Group or Dynasty according to the results returned by the LDAP query. This query is associated with the group or Dynasty creation and can be updated anytime using the Set-SmartGroup commandlet. When the Update-Group commandlet is executed, it searches the directory to find recipients matching the criteria defined in the query and modifies the group membership list with the returned recipients, if any.

You can view events related to this commandlet in Directory Manager portal, against the History node in the left panel.
