Combining several DL into one

[techie211]

hi ppl, I'm running Exchange 2003 w/Outlook 2010 clients. We have two schools(i.e; school 1, school 2) with each school having their own DL for teachers. I would like to combine school 1 and school 2 DL into one 'ex: both schools DL' to be able to only select the one DL for future bulk emails. Is this even possible? Do I create a Query-based Distribution Group and just add the DL's from school 1 and school 2? any help is appreciated

Update: found this little script that exports full name, group and email addresses. This should work if I just create a new DL and import these users?

Depending if you have 2 Exch Org's, which I shall I assume you have. Create a contact in each for the DL in the other Exch Org and add it to the exisitng DL. Make sure you're allowed to send to it or if it's open for unauthenticated users then that should do it. This will send the email to all those on each DL.
