In order to display a conference room’s calendar on a mobile device, there are usually two options: use an Office365 account with delegate rights to open a room’s mailbox or to enable the AD user account for that particular room mailbox.
The first solution is the simplest, however has the following limitations: requires a mobile app capable to differentiate between the Office365 account and the mailbox, and uses up one Exchange license. The second solution is even simpler, works with any mail/calendar mobile app that can connect to Office365 and does not use an Exchange license:
Start a remote Powershell session with Exchange Online, entering a tenant admin’s credentials:
$credential = Get-Credential
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchanged -ConectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $session
$passwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String <room mb password> -AsPlainText -Force
Set-Mailbox -Identity “<room mb address>” -EnableRoomMailboxAccount $true -RoomMailboxPassword $passwd
Remove-PSSession $session
What do you think?
When I try to follow your guide i get the following error:
You can not set a Password or the ResetPasswordOnNextLogon property for a federated acc
ount. Please use your onpremise tools for these operations. (raised by: Set-Mailbox)
Have you seen this before?
Your command has a typo in it … connectionuri, not conection
