In addition to mailboxes groups and external contacts recipients can also include specific rooms or
pieces of equipment locations such as the conference group or classroom can be given mailbox so that
they can be reserved for maintenance equipment.
Mailboxes can be assigned to physical location specific resources such as laptops or projectors and
can then be checked out to individual users or groups by local time with the mailbox.
And this lesson will take a look at how you can manage resource mailboxes.
You've got the Exchange management shell or IAC.
In my case when creating a resource mailbox from within the shell the syntax is similar to creating
a mailbox for a regular user.
For example you still use the new mailbox command led when creating a resource mailbox like in this
example we can type a new mailbox name.
See our A7 display name.
Conference Room 7 user principle name CRM serving out mail got your term and we have to specify room
parameter.
There are two main differences when it comes to creating a resource mailbox as opposed to a standard
user mailbox.
First you need to use either the room switch parameter or the equipment switch parameter to define the
type of reserves mailbox that will be created.
Second you do not need to prove why two paths worked well for the user record.
When used in either of those resorts mailbox which parameters to create a mailbox.
Then you mailbox on that will create a disabled Active Directory user account that will be assigned
or associated with a mailbox.
The entire concept of room and equipment mail boxes results around the calendars used by these resources.
If you want to reserve a room or a piece of equipment you book time with these resources through Outlook
or Outlook Web Access for the duration that you'll need them.
The requests sent to these resources need to be accepted either by a delegate or automatically using
the reserves book and attendant to configure the room mailbox created.
The previous example to automatically accept new Maiden requests.
We can use the set calendar process and command left to set the resource booking attendant for that
mailbox to alter except So you could use a foreign command set calendar process in seven 7.
Thus automate processing parameter set to auto accept my reserves book an attendant is set to auto accept
the request will be immediately accepted.
As long as there is not a conflict with another mate.
If there is a conflict an e-mail message will be returned to the requester explaining that the request
was declined due to shadow and conflict.
You can allow conflicts by Add in the allowed conflict which parameter.
So you could add this parameter to the previous command.
My version was resource mailboxes with automate process and set auto except you'd get an automated email
response from the resource after boken time.
This mail message will explain whether the request was accepted or declined depending on your settings.
You can add additional text to the response message that the militant organizer will receive you using
the following syntax.
Set calendar.
Process an identity C-R 7 for example.
Add additional response set to True and additional response parameter with the following command line.
For assistance contact support please know that you have to type this command in single quotes.
So this example uses a set calendar process command let to customize the response messages sent from
the source 7 run mailbox.
You can see here that we've added a message that tells the user the helpdesk number to call if assistance
is required.
Mind that you can only add additional response text when the automate process and property is set to
auto accept if you do not want to automate the calendar process and for a response mailbox then you'll
need to add delegates that can accept or deny medals for their resource.
Again we can turn to the set calendar process and come and last to accomplish this.
You could type the foreign command set calendar process with identity broker to resource delegates and
specifies the males of the delegates and automate process and properties set to known.
And this example we've added two delegates to the resource mailbox and have turned off automated process.
So when a request comes into the sea our server mailbox Bow's delegate WAHM and delegate to will be
notified that it is there and can accept or deny the request on behalf of the resource mailbox when
it comes to working with resource mailboxes.
Another useful feature is the ability to assign custom resource properties to rooms and equipment resources.
For example you might have a total of five 10 or 15 conference rooms but maybe only four of those have
wide boards.
It might be useful for your users to know this information when booking a resource for a and when they
will be conducting a training session using this shell we can add custom resource properties to the
Exchange organization by modifying the resource schema.
Once this custom resource properties have been added they can then be assigned to specific resource
mailboxes.
You can use the following code to add a wide board resource property to the exchange organizations resource
schema.
You could type search resource config resource properties schema or room slash whiteboard in single
quotes.
Now that the white board resource properties are whaleboat within the exchange organization we can add
this to our conference room 7 mailbox using the following command set mailbox identities of seven resource
them wide board one user success select rooms and add rooms dialog box in Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013
or Outlook 2016 they'll see that conference room Thurmon has a wide board available and now some Virts
about converting mail boxes if you've moved from an old version you might have a number of mailboxes
that were being used as a resource mailbox.
Once these mailboxes have been moved over they will be identified as shared mailboxes.
You can convert them to other types using the search mailbox command left so that they'll have all the
properties of a resource mailbox you could perform the following command.
Get my old box gone.
Asterisk for all the mailboxes beginning with scorn.
Let earth and pipe it to said mail box.
Restart parameter which is a room you can run the search mailbox command letter against each mailbox
one at a time and convert them to run mailboxes.
You're using the type parameter or if you use a common name and convention you may be able to do them
in ball by retrieving a list of mailboxes using a wildcard and piping them to insert mailbox as shown
in this example.
