Overview
DDGs automate membership via filters—great until attributes drift and mail goes to wrong people.
Hygiene tasks
- Document filter LDAP/OPath; store in runbook.
- Validate attributes populated by HR sync (department, office, title).
- Test with preview before major mail campaigns.
Pitfalls
Complex filters impacting EXO performance—keep logic simple.
Decommission
When replaced by Entra dynamic groups + Teams channels, sunset formally with stakeholder sign-off.
