Hello all,
We have a site in SharePoint 2013 where people have been given access through an AD Security Group.
When we create a new task for a user, that user is not receiving an email.
We gave that same user direct access to SharePoint (by adding it to a SharePoint group), create a new task and then he got an e-mail.
Seems that SharePoint cannot send email to individual users which have been given access to a site via an AD Security Group. We have this on 2 different environments.
Is there anyone which has the same experience or a solution for this?
PS. I’m not looking for a way to send an email to ALL members of that group, so I don’t need a distribution group or an e-mail enabled security group. I want SharePoint to simply send emails to individuals whether they got access individually or via a security group.
Hi, If I am remembering correctly there are differences in AD between security groups other types of groups. I don’t think security only groups in AD allow emails, you have to create a global group or something like that if you want them to be able to receive email and be used for security.
I am pretty sure this is an AD issue and not SharePoint but perhaps someone else on the site can confirm this also.
Hope this helps.
