In Figure 4 - 29 , we
create a new resource mailbox and enable it to auto - accept meetings to which it is scheduled.
Figure 4-29
Modifying a Resource Mailbox
Once the resource mailbox is created, it can be converted from one type to another. For example, you
may wish to convert your existing shared mailbox migrated from Exchange Server 2003 to a conference
room or equipment mailbox or even to a user mailbox. In addition, you can disable a resource mailbox or
define properties such as the resource capacity, location, and other custom attributes. The Set-Mailbox
or Set-ResourceConfig cmdlets can be used to modify and/or define custom attributes for resource
mailboxes.
To convert a shared mailbox to a resource mailbox, use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet and specify the identity
of the shared mailbox to be converted. Next use the type parameter to indicate the type of resource you
are converting it to such as room or equipment. As an example, see Figure 4 - 14 earlier in this chapter.
To disable a resource mailbox, simply use the Disable-Mailbox cmdlet. Keep in mind that this operation
removes the mailbox ??™ s Exchange attributes from Active Directory but the mailbox is not deleted, and can
be reconnected to its user at a later date by using the Connect-Mailbox cmdlet. On the other hand, using
the Remove-Mailbox cmdlet will remove the Active Directory user account and mark the mailbox for
deletion.
