One of the advantages to the Exchange 2003 and AD is that the DLs are groups just like Security Groups. You can mail enable Security Groups and make them distribution groups. You do not have to have the same lists of users in 2 different spots. The connector between 5.5 and Exchange 2003 did the conversion for you. We commonly give users access to group related files and those same groups would like to get email. One list, one update.

I have gone thru the installation of my first Exchange 2003 box, but I notice that some of my 5.5 DLs are now 2003 UDGs, and some are now 2003 USGs. I would like to figure out why...... Any help is appreciated.
