Modify shared mailbox after creation

Question

Hi,

I would like to know whether it is possible to modify a shared mailbox after creation with a business rule.

We create the shared mailbox on prem using a custom command with PowerShell, after the creation I want to automatically change a property on the newly created shared mailbox:

set-mailbox <mailbox name> -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $True

and

set-mailbox <mailbox name> -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $True

Because I cannot do this during the creation I want to do it after creation using a business rule if possible. But I could not find the correct object type when creating the business rule. I suppose I could use "User" but I don't how to identity the user object type as a shared mailbox.

Thanks,

Thomas Maurer

Hello Thomas,

Please, provide a screenshot of the custom command being used. Also, please, provide all the scripts executed in the command in TXT format. You can post the data here or send to us at support@adaxes.com.

Hi Support2,

Below is a snippet of the code:

try
{
    # Connect to Exchange server
    $session = New-PSSession -connectionURI "http://$exchangeServer/powershell" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange
    Import-PSSession -session $session -AllowClobber -CommandName $commands

$RMBX= new-remotemailbox -OnPremisesOrganizationalUnit $OU -Shared -name $MailboxName -UserPrincipalName $UPN -RemoteRoutingAddress $RRA
$Context.LogMessage("Shared mailbox $MailboxName has $UPN and $RRA ","information"   )
}
finally
{
    # Close the remote session and release resources
    if ($session) { Remove-PSSession -Session $session}
}

The above script is the only script executed in the custom command

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for the provided details. First of all, there is no built-in functionality in Adaxes to manage the features in question. Also, the script enables a remote shared mailbox. As such, Set-Mailbox will never work. Also, there is no possibility to enable/disable the features for remote mailboxes. You can check the following article for details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/set-remotemailbox?view=exchange-ps.
