## Prerequisites
Before using this snippet, verify you've met with the following requirements:
- [ ] The PowerShell EXO v3 module must be installed on the server running the Agent. [See instructions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online-powershell-v2?view=exchange-ps)

- [ ] User defined variables: `$ExchangeOnlineAdminUsername` and `$ExchangeOnlineAdminPassword` created in your HelloID portal. [See also](https://docs.helloid.com/en/variables/custom-variables.html)

## Description

This code snippet executes the following tasks:

1. Define a hash table `$formObject`. The keys of the hash table represent the properties of the `New-DistributionGroup` cmdlet, while the values represent the values entered in the form.

```json
{
"GroupIdentity": "DistributionGroup1",
"DisplayName": "DistributionGroup1",
"PrimarySmtpAddress": "[email protected]",
"Alias": "DistributionGroupAlias"
}
```

> :exclamation: It is important to note that the names of your form fields might differ. Ensure that the `$formObject` hashtable is appropriately adjusted to match your form fields. [See the Microsoft Docs page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-distributiongroup?view=exchange-ps)

2. Constructs a PowerShell credential object from the supplied administrative username and password

3. Connects with the credentials to the Exchange online environment by means of the `Connect-ExchangeOnline` cmdlet

4. Calls the `New-DistributionGroup` cmdlet to create the new Distribution Group
