Need steps on how to convert a global security group to a mail enabled security Group in active directory

Hi team,

I would like to convert global Security Group to a mail-enabled security group in active directory. I know that we just need to change it from Global to Universal. But do you have a proper way to add the email address in active directory and sync with O365?

Thank you for your help

@Jennifer-3804

You can use command below to cover this group from a Global group to a Universal group:

 Get-AdGroup "NewGroup" | Set-ADGroup -GroupScope Universal -GroupCategory Security

You can use command below to enable email for this group(You will could see this security group from Exchange on-premise):

 Enable-DistributionGroup newgroup

If the domain name has verified on your Office 365, this group will be sync to Azure AD with AAD Connect.
