It looks like it's not happy about $_.displayName

 

Does Import-Csv groupstest.csv | ForEach { $_.displayName}  give you a
list of the display names in your csv file?

This is curious because it seems logical enough that it should work.  I
use a similar command all the time to create new contacts and
distribution groups but maybe it cannot be used to modify properties...

 

I need to 'uncheck' all of the Require All Senders to be authenticated
boxes on all the distribution groups and I don't want to do this by hand
for 200 groups.

 

So I exported the group list to a csv and cleared out everything but the
display names in excel and re-saved it as a csv.  Then I tried using 

 

Import-Csv groupstest.csv | ForEach { Set-DistributionGroup -identity
$_.displayName -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False }

 

However it returns:

 

Set-DistributionGroup : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Identity'
because it

 is null.

At line:1 char:70

+ Import-Csv groupstest.csv | ForEach { Set-DistributionGroup -identity
<<<< $

_.displayName -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False }

Set-DistributionGroup : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Identity'
because it

 is null.

At line:1 char:70

+ Import-Csv groupstest.csv | ForEach { Set-DistributionGroup -identity
<<<< $

_.displayName -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False }

 

Anyone have any clues as to why this might not work or what I can do to
achieve what I want?

 

Thanks
