Convert mail user to user mailbox
A simple question!
To convert a Mail User to a User Mailbox in Exchange, you can follow these steps:
Using the Exchange Management Console:
- Open the Exchange Management Console.
- Navigate to the "Recipient Configuration" node.
- Right-click on the "Mail User" you want to convert and select "Convert to User Mailbox".
- Follow the wizard to complete the conversion.
Using PowerShell:
- Open PowerShell and connect to your Exchange server using the following command:
Connect-ExchangeServer -Auto
- Run the following command to convert the Mail User to a User Mailbox:
New-Mailbox -Identity <MailUserAlias> -UserMailbox
Replace <MailUserAlias>
with the alias of the Mail User you want to convert.
Note: Before converting a Mail User to a User Mailbox, make sure that the Mail User has a valid email address and that the email address is not already in use by another mailbox.
Also, keep in mind that converting a Mail User to a User Mailbox will move the user's email messages, calendar, and contacts to the new mailbox. The Mail User will no longer exist as a separate entity, and the user will need to use the new mailbox to access their email and other data.
