This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell to list available resource mailboxes and their properties. A resource mailbox is a mailbox that represents conference rooms and company equipment. Resource mailboxes can be included as resources in meeting requests, providing a simple and efficient way to utilize resources for an organization. The user account that is associated with a resource mailbox is disabled.
