The equipment mailbox is also a resource mailbox. It is used for scheduling and assigning
non - location - specific resources, which could include printers, projectors, TV, computers, and company
cars and trucks. A disabled user account is likewise associated with this mailbox type and it is
distinguished by its RecipientTypeDetails property of EquipmentMailbox . (See Figure 4 - 12 .)

As the name implies, shared mailboxes are user mailboxes shared by multiple user accounts. A disabled
Active Directory user account must be associated with a shared mailbox. After it is created other Active
Directory user accounts can be granted logon rights to the mailbox. In Exchange Server 2000 and
Exchange Server 2003, shared mailboxes were used to represent resource mailboxes. When an
organization migrates to Exchange Server 2007, these mailboxes will become Exchange Server 2007
shared mailboxes and can be converted to Exchange Server 2007 resource mailboxes. A shared mailbox
can also be converted to a user mailbox and vice versa. Although shared mailboxes are available in
Exchange Server 2003, use of resource mailboxes is recommended rather than shared mailboxes. Note
that a shared mailbox is only visible from the Exchange Management Shell and is not shown in the
Exchange Management Console.
