Displaying Moderators for Exchange Distribution Li

Applies To

Netwrix Directory Manager 11 or above

Overview

This article outlines the process of modifying the Netwrix Directory Manager portal to show moderator settings for distribution lists configured in Microsoft Exchange, using specific Active Directory attributes.

The following attributes are associated with message moderation for on-premise Microsoft Exchange:

  • msExchEnableModeration: Enables or disables message moderation for a distribution group. When enabled, messages sent to the group require moderator approval before delivery.
  • msExchModeratedByLink: Associates a moderated recipient with a distribution list or security group whose members serve as moderators.
  • msExchBypassModerationLink: Associates a moderated recipient with a distribution list or security group whose members are allowed to bypass message moderation.

By utilizing these attributes, you can create a customized view in the Netwrix Directory Manager Portal to display the appropriate message approvers for distribution lists. This customization helps you manage message moderation effectively within your organization's Exchange environment.
