Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Gagné Sébastien <>]

Due to time constraints we'll be using the ldap way, using the PowerShell 
might be cleaner in the long run, but we don't have the time to explore 
something this new/different.

I did found some people who were using SOAP with WS-man with for remote shell 
execution but not enough details to be confident to be able to do it in time.

Objet : Re: [grouper-users] mail-enabled distribution groups

We once provisioned exchange mail groups via ldap to Active Directory, but 
the advent of powershell and the microsoft cloud solutions made me realize 
that you really wanted to be using powershell.

Not sure what the current state of rest to powershell bridges there are.
