Hi All
I have a distribution list in exchange online lets say dl1@Company portal .com. i have removed the owner and added new owner to this DL in exchange online admin center, i also want to add the owner in Azure AD for this DL. This is a DL not a unified group, is the below syntax correct?
lets say new owner is user1 and i got the object id from Azure Active Directory.
az ad group owner add --group dl1@Company portal .com --owner-object-id 17f904kl-jhu8-7i89-k90o-123678jo9174

May I please get some help assigning owner ship to brandon Presser-b0p061d to ACC7377CustomerFeedba@email.wal-mart.com. thank you in advance
The cmdlet you mentioned should work. However, have a try on listing the existing owner of the group and remove them first
List group owners - az ad group owner list --group MyGroupDisplayName
Remove a group owner - az ad group owner remove --group --owner-object-id
Add a group owner - az ad group owner add --group MyGroupDisplayName --owner-object-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

i am getting the below error
PS C:\Windows\system32> az ad group owner add --group dl1@Company portal .com --owner-object-id 17f904kl-jhu8-7i89-k90o-123678jo9174
az : The term 'az' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

This is a simple fix. Install az cli and try again

i am getting the below error, the group already exists, (dl1@Company portal .com) is a distribution list in exchange online and i can see the group in Azure AD.
az ad group owner add --group dl1@Company portal .com --owner-object-id 17f904kl-jhu8-7i89-k90o-123678jo9174
az : ERROR: No group matches the name of 'dl1@Company portal .com'

I tried all the below syntaxes but no luck.
az ad group owner add --group "dl1@Company portal .com" --owner-object-id 17f904kl-jhu8-7i89-k90o-123678jo9174
az ad group owner add --group "DL1" --owner-object-id 17f904kl-jhu8-7i89-k90o-123678jo9174
az ad group owner add --group-id 4565dfhgfh-dfhg-fdrd-adff-sadfsdfdf --owner-object-id 17f904kl-jhu8-7i89-k90o-123678jo9174
i think for a DL created in exchange online, we cannot see group owner in Azure AD can anyone correct me
Have you checked the group existence using the following cmdlet?
Get-AzADGroup -DisplayName $gname
