Add distribution groups with mail activation?

pirzerc001

I want to manage Exchange DistributionGroup with Mail Activation - I can create Groups type "universal" and "distribution", but no Mail-Activation.

You need to add the following section to your template:

	/* In the Modules section Exchange settings are done for e-mail activating the group (create a distribution group).
	Delete the "Modules" section if you want the user to create a group without e-mail functionality.*/
	"Modules" : [
		{
		// (required) Name of the module as key to depending processes. Do not change.
		"Name" : "Exchange.Create.DistributionGroup",

		// (required) Short description of the module. Used as section headline.
		"Displaytext" : "['en-us:Create Distribution Group in Exchange','de-de:Eine Exchange Verteilergruppe erzeugen','fr-fr:Création d\\'un groupe de distribution dans Exchange']",

		// (optional) Long description of the module. Displayed within the area.
		"Description" : "['en-us:Long description for demo.','de-de:Lange Beispiel-Beschreibung.','fr-fr:Longue description pour démo.']", 

		/* (required) Determine the Credential Type.
		Possible values:
		- UsernamePassword (default) Currently not supported. Do not use.
		- Windows */
		"CredentialType" : "Windows",

		"Fields" : [
			// (required) Enable/disable the creation of the distribution group in exchange.
			{
				// Do not change the next line.
				"Name": "createdistributiongroup",
				"Definition": {
					"Type": "Checkbox",
					"DefaultValue": true,
					"Label": "['en-us:Create distribution group','de-de:Erzeuge Verteilergruppe','fr-fr:Créer groupe de distribution']"
				}
			},
			/* (optional) Set creation and validation rules for e-mail-addresses.
			If you disable/delete the following section Exchange default policies are used to create e-mail-adresses.*/
			{
				// Do not change the next line.
				"Name": "emailaddresses",
				"Definition": {
					"Type": "TextArea",
					"Label": "['en-us:E-mail addresses','de-de:E-Mail Adressen','fr-fr:Adresses e-mail']",

						"CreationRule" : "SMTP:({samaccountname})@domain.com"
				  	}
			  	}	
			},

			/* (optional) Set sender authentication.
			If you don't set this option Exchange default policies are used.*/
			{
				// Do not change the next line.
				"Name": "RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled",
				"Definition": {
					"Type": "Checkbox",

			}
