+## Setup
+
+1. LOL. It defaults to `bash`. Change that.
+
+2. Probably one-time install
+
+    ```powershell
+    Install-Module -Name PSWSMan -AcceptLicense -Confirm
+    Install-WSMan   # Web services for management
+    Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
+    ```
+
+3. Probably per session:
+
+    ```powershell
+    Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
+    Connect-ExchangeOnline
+    ```
+
+## Tasks
+
+### Distribution Group
+
+Seems like this is an older way to do it.
+
+1. Create distribution group
+
+    ```powershell
+    $groupname = 'loves_tacos'
+    new-distributiongroup $groupname
+    ```
+
+2. Add some folks to it
+
+    ```powershell
+    Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $groupname -Member bob
+    Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $groupname -Member larry
+    ```
+
+3. Verify the list is as desired
+
+
+    ```powershell
+    get-distributiongroupmember -identity $groupname
+    ```
+
+4. Add an email alias
+
+    ```powershell
+    $domain = 'tacos.net'
+    set-distributiongroup -identity $groupname -EmailAddresses @{add="$groupname@$domain"}
+    get-distributiongroup $groupname | Select Alias, EmailAddresses, ManagedBy, DistinguishedName | Format-List
+    ```
+
+
+
+### Or create an entire shared mailbox
+
+1. Create a shared mailbox
+
+    ```powershell
+    $groupname = 'tacos'
+    $displayname = 'Loves Tacos'
+    New-Mailbox -Shared -Name "$groupname" -DisplayName $displayname
+    ```
+
+2. Decide who to add.
+
+    You can review your mailbox users with `Get-Mailbox`
+
+3. Add people
+
+    ```powershell
+    Add-MailboxPermission -Identity $groupname -AccessRights FullAccess -User <user>
+    ```
+
+4. Review
+
+    ```powershell
+    Get-MailboxPermission $groupname
+    ```
