Active Directory Distribution Lists or Mail-Enabled Security Groups

Active Directory Distributions Lists are groups that live in Active Directory. Members of these groups can receive email that is sent to the group email address. These can also be used when the list is serving as a Security group for file access. Members of these lists can only be internal SLAC Active Directory (Windows) users. To request a new Windows Distribution lists or a Mail-enabled Security Group, please submit a request using the Distribution List Request Form.
