What are the five types of groups within Microsoft 365?
The five types of groups are Distribution Groups, Security Groups, Mail-Enabled Security Groups, Dynamic Distribution Groups, and Microsoft 365 Groups.
What is the purpose of a distribution group?

What is the main purpose of a security group?
Security groups are used to assign permissions to users for accessing specific resources or folders.
What is a mail-enabled security group?
A mail-enabled security group combines the functionalities of a distribution group and a security group, allowing for both email distribution and permission management.
How is a dynamic distribution group different from a regular distribution group?
A dynamic distribution group has a dynamic membership that updates automatically based on predefined filters when an email is sent to the group.
What additional features do Microsoft 365 groups offer?
Microsoft 365 groups combine the capabilities of distribution groups with additional collaboration features such as a shared inbox, calendar, document library, planner, and more.
How can Microsoft 365 groups be managed in a cloud-only or hybrid scenario?
In a cloud-only scenario, Microsoft 365 groups can be managed through the Microsoft 365 admin center, PowerShell, or the Azure AD admin center. In a hybrid scenario, the management approach may vary depending on the synchronization with on-premises AD DS.
