If you\u2019re not sure what the difference is between \u201csend as\u201d and \u201csend on behalf\u201d it is as simple as this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cSend on behalf\u201d is when the email message has a From address of  \u201cPerson A on behalf of Person B\u201d. This is fairly common with executives  and their assistants who send things like meeting invitations on the  exec\u2019s behalf.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSend as\u201d is when the message has a From address of Person B with no  indication that it was actually sent by Person A. In other words this  is more like impersonation, whereas \u201csend on behalf\u201d is more like  delegation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So let\u2019s take a look at this scenario. Here we have Alannah Shaw, a  member of the Payroll department, sending an email to Alan Reid and  attempting to send as \u201cPayroll Team\u201d, which is a distribution group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-01\" src=\"http:\/\/exchangeserverpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"275\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The email is not delivered because Alannah does not have permissions to send as the Payroll Team group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-02\" src=\"http:\/\/exchangeserverpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately configuring \u201csend as\u201d permissions is not difficult at all. There are two ways to grant the permissions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grant send as permissions to a mailbox user (eg, grant Alannah Shaw permission to send as \u201cPayroll Team\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>Grand send as permissions to a universal security group (eg grant \u201cPayroll Team Leaders\u201d permission to send as \u201cPayroll Team\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can grant the permissions by using Active Directory Users &amp;  Computers. Simply open the properties of the group, switch to the  Security tab, add the mailbox user or group, and then tick the Send As  box and apply the change.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-03\" src=\"http:\/\/exchangeserverpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"396\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After making this change you may notice that it does not take effect  for up to 2 hours. This is due to caching on the Exchange servers.  Though you can speed up the change by restarting the Information Store  that is obviously not going to be practical in most production  environments, so you\u2019ll often find that you just need to wait.<\/p>\n<p>Once the change has taken effect the user can send as the distribution group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-04\" src=\"http:\/\/exchangeserverpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/exchange-2010-send-as-distribution-group-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"275\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article I\u2019ll show you how to grand send as permissions for distribution groups in Exchange 2010.
