Hi,

i need to check if it's possible to configure an additional mailbox (shared) into existing outlook profile using powershell script.

My env is based on Exchange 2007 SP1 and outlook 2010

Thanks for any help.

Regards

Hi

With Powershell, you have an option to add the shared mailbox as addition mailbox. How ever, you have to add the shared mailbox as additional mailbox manually.

In Exchange 2010, The Auto mapping feature will work, where if you user is given a full access permission on a shared mailbox and when the user open his outlook profile, the shared mailbox will automatically open. This feature is not in Exchange 2007

Inform if you need any details.

OK. Could you please provide me an example for powershell code, whith i could configure additional mailbox? otherwise could you address me any links in which i can get some examples? Thank so much

Thank you.

Although  my problem is to configure outlook, and your link explains how to grant permission for mailbox. I need some ideas for additional mailbox adding as following link shows.

Are you looking for an option like this - http://www.howexchangeworks.com/2010/09/auto-mapping-mailboxes-with-full-access.html

If yes, this option is a new feature in Exchange server 2010 Sp1. We cannot get it Exchange server 2007 Sp1

Inform if you are lokoing for an different auto mapping feature

Thank you

Have the same problem, cant use the Outlook 2010 AutoMap feature.  AutoMapping only works on individual Users when they are granted access to the mailbox.  When we tried to grant that same access based on a group membership then the automapping does not work.  Our environment is too large for processing those mailboxes on individual basis.  So I need to be able to add t his through a local script instead of relying on the exchange auto map features.
