# HelloID-Task-SA-Target-ExchangeOnline-DistributionGroupCreate

## Prerequisites
Before using this snippet, verify you've met with the following requirements:
- [ ] User defined variables: `$ExchangeAdminUsername`, `$ExchangeAdminPassword` and `$ExchangeConnectionUri` created in your HelloID portal. [See also Custom Variables](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.

> To view an example of the form output, please refer to the JSON code pasted below.

```json
{
"Name": "DistributionGroup1",
"DisplayName": "DistributionGroup1",
"PrimarySmtpAddress": "DistributionGroup1@mytestenvironment.dev",
"Alias": "DistributionGroup1",
"OU" : "testenvironment.dev/ExchangeDistributionGroups"
}
```

> :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.

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

3. Connects with the credentials to the Exchange on premises environment by means of the `New-PSSession` cmdlet

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

5. Disconnects from the Exchange session by means of the `Remove-PsSession` cmdlet
