You don’t have sufficient permissions. This operation can only be performed by a manager of this group.

When you want your Tier2 to have ability to manage distribution Groups by adding multiple managers to it, you may receive the error “You don’t have sufficient permissions. This operation can only be performed by a manager of this group.” in Exchange 2010 SMTP organization.

The issue might have been caused by “security group management check” outlined in the following KB

Remedy to this issues is to add the helpdesk administrators into RBAC Role Groups called “Role Management” so that they can populate the DL group membership with multiple managers.

“A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts that argument –BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck “ this error simply being generated due to “Un sufficient rights”

Stay tuned until next time.
