Exchange 2019 Distribution Group Owners Can't Edit Members

We have made a migration from four onPrem Exchange 2013 servers to four new Exchange 2019 servers. After the migration Distribution Group Owners can't edit members from Outlook. If the mailbox is in a database on a specific server, it works. But not for mailboxes on the other three servers. Grateful for any help. Has Googled the issue without success. Have tested several suggestions

Hi,

We mayl test but I do not hope that the solution problem is to move to new databases. We have 16,000 mailboxes. I will return when we have tested on a smaller scale.

Hi Michael,

Yes, just consider it as the final option and hope the first two methods could solve this with no efforts.
Besides, do you use one user as the owner of the four servers? If so, please also test if adding users of corresponding servers could make some differences.

Bests,
Lou

Hi @MichaelWiskman-8614 ,

Have you ever tried re-assign the owner permissions?
Also try creating a new DG on one of the three servers and test if this time the function could work.

Creating a new database for the problematic servers and migrate the original users to them may solve this too.

Best regards,
Lou
