Room Mailbox, showing up as user
I created a Room Mailbox and after a few days it showed up as a User in the address book. Since this room is booked out through the next 6 months I can not recreate it. Why would this room resource now show up as a user in the Address book. Here is the dump from the console. Stein_97

Good heavens! We need to send you to EMS school. I am assuming your room mailbox's alias is MAILBOX-ALIAS. Open up the EMS, and type this: Get-Mailbox MAILBOX-ALIAS | FL name,*resource* Check the IsResource property, if it is set to False, then type this: Set-Mailbox MAILBOX-ALIAS -Room See if that fixes you up.

So it looks like i am the only one with this issue! What if I change the resource type to "Regular" instead of "Room" and then switch it back again??? Thanks Stein_97

I would love to go to EMS school, but there doesn't seem to be any such thing.I'm trying to do the exact same thing for a meeting room we have called 'treehouse' When I type the get-mailbox treehouse | fl name, *resource* I get the expected list, of the name, and IsResource set to false.When I then type set-mailbox treehouse -room (or room, or -Room, or Room) I get:Set-Mailbox : A parameter cannot be found that matches the parameter name 'room'.At line:1 char:27+ set-mailbox treehouse -room <<<<We're using SP1, maybe that renders all this unworkable.I would LOVE to be able to find a resource that actually explains how this EMS works, something between the useless marketing ____ on the Technet pages and the five-page-long scripts that people have written to convert their Notes servers to Exchange 2007.tbreit@kcts9.org tom

Not sure what caused that to flip.

I tried the command set-mailbox name-Type room But I get the message back "No mailbox type conversion is required because the mailbox "xxxxxxxx" is already type "Room" Any other ideas on this?

I am having this same issue. I see the room, in my rooms list, and also as a user in my user list. This is causing some issues with autodeclines and forwarding the requests to delegates. resource properly is set to true. in the EMC it shows as a room. but in my GAL in outlook it will show as a user and not a room. how to I resolve this? again it is causing issues with delegates and auto-accept properties. SarahAs a work around since I could not find a valid answer, I did this:1. I enabled the user associated to the room box2. logged in as that user 3. exported data to a .pst4. deleted user/room mailbox5. created a new mailbox6. enabled user7. logged in as user8. imported data to new calendar9. set resource parameters as needed10. disabled the user again

I had the same problem, here is what I did to resolve it.1. re-enabled individual user account associated with the room mailbox2. Set-Mailbox -Identity 'useraccount' -Type Regular3. Get-Mailbox -Identity 'useraccount' | FL name,*resource* - to confirm the resource has been set back to false4. Set-Maiblox -Identity 'useraccount'-Type Room5. re-run number 3 to confirm the resource have been switched to True
