Add members to an Office 365 distribution group with powershell.
There's 2 ways to connect to office365 through powershell.
MSOL
Exchange online.
You can add members to a security group using MSOL but you have to use EOL for distribution groups or mail-enabled security groups.
At this juncture I only know how to get user data using msol.
(we use -like @ domain because pupils have a different subdomain)
#connect MSOL
connect-msolservice
get-msoluser -all | where-object {$_.userprincipalname -like "domain"} | export-csv -path "d:\staffemails.csv"
#connect EOL
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri [url]https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/[/url] -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking
import-csv "d:\staffemails.csv" | foreach {add-distributiongroupmember -identity "groupname" -member $_.userprincipalname}
