Exchange 2007 – Change a User Mailbox to Shared Mailbox

If you want to change a user mailbox in Exchange to a shared mailbox, then there is a simple powershell command that you can run within Exchange Management Shell (EMS) to carry this out. Just open up EMS and use this command:

 Set-Mailbox "user mailbox name" -Type:Shared  

where

• “user mailbox name” – is the name of the user mailbox you want to change to a shared mailbox

Then if you go back into your Exchange Management Console, you should see that this is now a shared mailbox and you can set the permissions as required for multiple user access. If you want to change a shared mailbox into a user mailbox, then there is a guide here to see how to do that too.
