Set-EOPGroup

Reference

Module:: ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:: Exchange Online Protection

This cmdlet is available only in Exchange Online Protection.

Use the Set-EOPGroup cmdlet to modify general group object attributes in standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes. This cmdlet isn't available in EOP that's included with Exchange Enterprise CAL with Services licenses in on-premises Exchange; use the Set-Group cmdlet instead.

Typically, standalone EOP organizations that also have on-premises Active Directory use directory synchronization to create users and groups in EOP. However, if you can't use directory synchronization, then you can use cmdlets to create and manage users and groups in EOP.

This cmdlet uses a batch processing method that results in a propagation delay of a few minutes before the results of the cmdlet are visible.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.
