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 here is what EMS listed: Name : Dublin Meeting RoomIsResource : TrueResourceCapacity :ResourceCustom : {}ResourceType : Room Just because I did do this command: set-Mailbox dubmeet -Type room Any other ideas? Stein_97

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?

Hi,You can try this option in the below linkhttp://smtpport25.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/converting-exchange-2007-mailbox/krishnahttp://smtpport25.wordpress.com

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
