I don’t have a solid way to store scripts I’ve written (some good, some bad), and oftentimes forget which each does. This’ll let me store for next time, keep some notes, and maybe help someone else out. Disclaimer: There are a million ways to do most of this stuff, these are just the ways *I* fixed it. Yes, yours are probably much better, but I’m happy to help if I can. - Andy Tillo

So you’ve got ways of adding people to DLs, but be careful when do it.  You need to specify EVERYONE you want in it and doing this is bad: Set-QADGroup -Identity $group -Member $sean So...
