Chapter 7. Working with Recipient Objects > Converting Recipient Types
Converting Recipient Types
In many organizations, the most common type of conversion is when you need to convert a 2003 Shared mailbox to a 2010 Resource mailbox. As previously detailed in this chapter, that is not the only conversion that can be performed on a recipient. When you move a Resource mailbox to Exchange 2010, it is migrated as a Shared mailbox. If you would like to take advantage of the automated booking features of Exchange 2010, you must manually convert it to a Room mailbox (or Equipment mailbox) because Exchange has no way of determining if that is your intention. Fortunately, it is a very simple process, as shown in the following table.
New-Mailbox -Name RoomName -Alias RoomAlias -UserPrincipalName UPN -SamAccountName UserName -FirstName FirstName -LastName LastName -Password password -ResetPasswordOnNextLogon $boolean value -Database DatabaseName -Shared PS C:\Users\Administrator>New-Mailbox -Name "Conference Room 112" -Alias "Conf112" -UserPrincipalName "Conf112@RomacSign.com" -SamAccountName "Conf112" -FirstName "Conference Room" -LastName "112" -Password $Pass -ResetPasswordOnNextLogon $false -Database "AssemblyDB" -Shared | This New-Mailbox cmdlet creates a Shared mailbox to test with the Set-Mailbox cmdlet as part of a conversion to a Room mailbox.
Note Figure 7-8 shows the mailbox before running the cmdlet, and Figure 7-9 shows the result after running the cmdlet. |
Set-Mailbox RoomName -Type Room PS C:\Users\Administrator>Set-Mailbox Conf112 -Type Room | This Set-Mailbox cmdlet migrates a Shared mailbox to a 2010 Resource mailbox. |
