Hey Guys

I was reading through some documentation on Set-CASMailbox and Set-Mailbox. One of the things I noticed (And maybe I am high) is that set-casmailbox can be used for setting the EMailAddress and the PrimarySMTPAddres. But of course so can Set-mailbox.

Set-CASMailbox

Set-Mailbox

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123981(v=exchg.150).aspx

The question I have is why? and when would I use Set-CASMAilbox vs Set-Mailbox. To set a users emailaddres or primarysmtpaddress?

Thanks,

R

Hi Robert,

Set-CASMailbox cmdlet is used to configure client access settings on a mailbox
ex: pop, activesync, imap, mapi etc..

These things can be controlled only by Set-CASMailbox command

Set-Mailbox cmdlet is used to modify the settings of an existing mailbox in a DB and mailbox attribute  level 

Similary these settings can be controlled by Set-Mailbox level

Totally understood but if you look at the link for set-casmailbox that option is there. I don't understand why the same option is in 2 places. there must be a reason.
