Adding Distribution List to SharePoint

Distribustion lists which resolves in Outlook and works fine, will not directly add/use in SharePoint.

SharePoint Does not recoginize a DL until it should be added under Security Group in Active Directory.

For Example I have DL called ALL.EMP.This will works correctly and send email from the Outlook.

If You want to use this in SharePoint,You need to add this DL under Security group in AD.

Advantages:

One Shot you can add bulk users to Any Doc lib or Site.
