GroupID 9 and 10 - Reports

Business Scenario:

You need a report to view a list of all groups with 'Report To Originator' set to false in your domain.

More Information:

The GroupID Reports module is a free reporting tool designed to run reports on Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange/Office 365.

reportToOrginator:

This parameter sends a delivery report to the user (originator) who sends an email message to this distribution group. We can use $true or $false as its value; the default value is set to $true.

Note: The values of reportToManager & reportToOriginator cannot be set to $true at the same time. If one is set to $true, the other must be set to $false; else all the delivery status messages will be suppressed.

Steps to generate the report:

  1. In GroupID Management Console, select Reports > By Category > Groups > All Groups With Report To Originator Set To False.
  2. In the Actions pane, click Create Report. This launches the Create Report wizard.
  3. On the Introduction page, read the welcome message and click Next.

  4. On the Select View page, select a format for the report and click Next.  

  5. By default, the wizard searches the Global Catalog for generating the report. On the Define Scope page, you can limit this scope to a particular container. To do this:

    • Click Browse to launch the Select Container dialog box and select the required source container.
    • Select the Include sub containers check box if you want to include its sub-containers when reporting.
    • In the Edit criteria box, modify the default LDAP filter as required. This filter is used for selecting items from the container.

  6. Click Next.

  7. The Edit Report Fields page displays the fields that will be included in the report.

    • To add more fields, click Add. This launches the Add a Field to the Report dialog box where you can select a source field and specify a display name for it.
    • You can also remove a field from the report by selecting it and clicking Remove.
    • To change the order of fields, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

  8. Click Next.

  9. On the Select Sort Field page, select the field by which you want to sort the data in the report and click Next.

  10. On the Customize Report page, specify a custom title and a location where you want to save the report. If required, change the default settings.

  11. Click Next.

  12. The Review Selections page displays a summary of the selections made in the previous steps.

    • Click Back to go to a previous page and make changes.
    • Click Next to generate the report with the existing settings.

  13. Once the wizard completes, click Finish. This will open your report in the selected output format.
