How to Generate a Report on All Groups with Report to Originator Set to False or True

Applies To​

Netwrix Directory Manager – Reports βΈ± Imanami πŸ–½

Overview​

Netwrix Directory Manager (formerly GroupID) allows you to generate reports on all groups with the Report To Originator attribute set to either false or true. The reportToOriginator parameter determines whether a delivery report is sent to the user (originator) who sends an email to a distribution group. This article explains how to generate these reports using the Reports module. The Reports module is a free tool for running reports on Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange/Office 365.

NOTE: The values of reportToManager and reportToOriginator cannot both be set to $true at the same time. If one is set to $true, the other must be set to $false; otherwise, all delivery status messages will be suppressed.
