Microsoft-graph-docs: add members for mail-enabled security group

[VitorX]

Based on the document here, it should support to add members for mail-enabled security group.

But I got the error message like below:
message=Unable to update the specified properties for objects that have originated within an external service.

Is the document incorrect?

The document mentions that "you can add only users to Office 365 groups". We are working on enabling adding users to the other types of groups as well, but this functionality is not available at this point in time

Has there been any progress on this? Adding and removing from distribution lists, which are the group type for Skype queues, would remove a major barrier for call center users. If non tenant admin users and or their supervisors could move people in and out of the queue, with an MS graph application, that would be a strong business case for this capability.

i'm also interested in this. currently have a solution that is being ported to non-windows and our current solution leverages powershell execution from ASP.NET MVC

Any updates on this?

I am also very interested in this feature. We have hundreds of users and contacts that need to be put into various distribution lists.

I'm surprised this isn't functional yet - when can we expect to have this functionality?

[sweeneyrobb]

@yinaa where is the best place to track the progress of this? it sounds like we have a handful of people here interested. likely not getting a response because the issue was closed.

I had same problem, so resorted to Exchange Online Ps command to add\remove members of mail-enabled security group.

Yes we can wait until the end of time. Thanks Microsoft, Also for your limitations in your runbooks in the Azure cloud...

Hey guys. I've been trying for a day to add members to a group (for us it's a simple distribution list).

I read online that the "groupTypes" property of the group should be set to "Unified" to be able to do this (and not to "[]" as it is for me now).

Does this ring a bell? Do you know what is this groupTypes = Unified? Is it compatible with a distribution list? Do you know where i can set this in azure?

Has any of you find anything helpful since 2016 otherwise?

Thanks :)

Current solution to add\remove members to mail enabled security groups or distribution groups is to use Exchange Online PowerShell commands.
Thanks

All of the suggestions mentioning to use exchange powershell aren't helpful when using azure automation and connecting to azure ad with the runas account. Stored creds (to enable a connection to exchange online) also do not work when 2 factor authentication is enabled.
Surely there must be a way around this by now, especially when the add-azureadgroupmember cmdlet is rendered useless by this limitation
