SYMPTOMS
If a distribution group has multiple owners, the Members list on the group’s contact card in Microsoft Outlook for Windows:
-
Includes one owner whose role displays as Owner. That owner might not be a member of the group.
-
Includes all other owners who are members. For each of these owners, their role displays as Member.
-
Excludes all other owners who aren’t members.
CAUSE
Outlook for Windows doesn’t optimally display distribution group owners.
STATUS: WORKAROUND
Use Outlook on the web to view distribution group owners. Outlook on the web displays owners and members as follows:
-
Owners who aren't group members display in an Owners list.
-
Members who aren't group owners display in a Members list.
-
Owners who are group members display in both the Owners and Members lists.
