How to add members to a distribution list using exchangelib

Question

How to add members to a distribution list in exchange2010 using python exchangelib? Any other library available to perform these tasks?

Also please help me to get list of DL's in exchange server 2010 — Sheik Kalidh, May 09 '19 at 16:06
You can only hope to do that with exchangelib if EWS supports it. Have you seen documentation that it's possible with EWS? — Erik Cederstrand, May 13 '19 at 15:22

Any alternate way to achieve this. — Sheik Kalidh, May 14 '19 at 04:23
Then you should look into PowerShell commands that you can run directly on the Exchange server. — Erik Cederstrand, May 14 '19 at 07:07
