hello
I created a new distro group using the web interface and then I verified it under PS i see the name field has extra characters in it.
why and how can i modify it. under the GAL the name looks correct.
Name DisplayName GroupType PrimarySmtpAddress
SOM OIS_NOT20210217131608 SOM OIS_NOT Universal SOMOIS_NOT@abc.com
All that matters is the display name. If that is correct, I would not worry about it.
could anyone explain why this happened?
Collision or duplicate entries... Things like that and Exchange will append a number to that object to prevent duplicates
It can also happen if using AADConnect with UPNs and Proxies

If you didnt add a samAccountName when you created the group, this can also occur:
If that was the case here, you can always recreate it
Hi @Efffdd-3114 ,
I think you could go ADUC and check this group, group name, e-mail address.
Or doing it in EMS:
Get-DistributionGroup DP1 | FL *Name*
Like Andy said, i think you don't have to worry about it as you could modify these parameters manually or recreate the group.
Get-DistributionGroup DP1 | Foreach {Set-DistributionGroup $_.Name -SamAccountName $_.Name -DisplayName $_.Name}
