Dear KnowMoreIT-Team,
we are currently facing a strange issue where dynamical distributiongroups (created via CloudPanel) are getting automatically removed from CloudPanel after a half day or so.
In Exchange these Dynamical distribution groups are still existing.
CloudPanel Version: VERSION: 3.2.1007.0
Exchange: Tested with Exchange 2016 and Exchange 2019
CloudPanel Settings for CloudPanel Service -> Database (I guess this is related to):
Both intervals set to 240 minutes (reduced from default for testing the automatical “deletion” of the dyn.dist.grps.).
Normal distribution groups are not affacted here, “just” dynamical ones.
Is there already something known related this?
Kind regards,

There is a process in the service to compare groups in the database to groups in AD. Can you search the CloudPanel Service logs for the following string: “Unable to find distribution group”
It searches AD for the group by the ObjectGUID, and if it doesn’t find it, it will remove it from the database.
Hi Jacob,
yes such entries are present!
Hi Jacob,
additional:
In fact the GUIDs are matching but the detection that the distribution group could not be found is may be faulty right?
Here a screenshot of the log and an example Get-ADObject Query for proof that the object is existing.
Kind regards,
Kevin

Hi Jacob,
were you already able to find something that could may be the cause of this?
If you need more Logfiles/tests from my side please don’t hestiate to ask 🙂
Kind regards,
Kevin

@kevinkleinjung Yes, we found the issue and corrected it. I have a new build, but we haven’t put together the release notes yet because it is so new. The problem was we were checking dynamic groups but using a looking in AD that didn’t support searching for dynamic groups, so they would never find a match.
