Exchange Query based distrubution group question

[Mackintire]

I've been asked to add a e-mail to the "everyone" query-based distrubution list.

The problem is the person only exists as a Contact.

Do I need to create a user for this person in order to get them into this list?

FYI this is on Exchange 2007, Server 2008 R2

no one?

Is the user in the everyone list?
Meaning does that user have an email in your system that the LDAP query can find?
If not yes you need to add them.

They do not even have a "User account" they only exist as a Contact sitting in an OU.


I suspect I will need to create a user account for them, and an exchange account and forward their mail in exchange.

Yeah, your going to have to do something like that unless you can manually add users to a query based group. But I doubt that is possible as the whole point of query based groups is to not need users to be added manually.

First I would say manually add them, if that fails then yes what you suggested would need to be done.
