PowerShell Command to Rename Room Mailboxes in Exchange

Paul Ryan | March 4th, 2015 | general

Recently someone asks from me for the PowerShell command to rename room mailboxes. I think that some other users may also want the same. For those users I am discussing the PowerShell command here. So Lets start:

For example, if you want to rename the room mailbox named as “Conference Room” to the “Meeting Room”, this can  be accomplished using the Set-Mailbox command:

For that first I need to change the following attributes

1). Name

2). Alias

3). DisplayName

4).SamAccountName

5). UserPrincipalName

The PowerShell command to do so is given below:

Set-Mailbox ” Conference Room ” -Name “Meeting Room” -Alias “meetingroom” -DisplayName ” Meeting Room ” -SamAccountName meetingroom -UserPrincipalName meetingroom@example.com

To set the original name of the mailbox use the command Set-User as shown below:

Set-User “Meeting Room” -FirstName “meetingroom”

The changes will take 24 to 48 hours if you have the users using the Outlook in catch mode.

Conclusion:-

The post is for those who wants to rename the Room mailboxes using the PowerShell command. In case if you facing difficulty any where, Please comment we will try our best to solve your query.
