Creating distrib group in a shared mailbox - MS Exchange outlook

I have been given permissions to another's Outlook (my manager).  I can add contacts to my manager's Mailbox.  I can create contact groups (distrib groups) to my manager's mailbox.  My problem is when I'm creating a distribution group and
click Add Members - from Outlook Contacts OR from Address Book I see my contacts, but not the contacts of my manager.
Can anyone tell me how I can view my manager's contact list?  Thank you.

Hi,
You may have found that when clicking Add Members, we can't select contacts from the shared Contacts.
We can't add a Contacts folder from another mailbox to your Outlook Address Book either, it's by design that a shared Contacts folder doesn’t hold the Outlook Address Book tab.

  • Using Exchange Web Service (EWS) Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

    Hi,
    I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new email event of a shared mailbox. Will it will work or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can be performed
    with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, is there such an Active Directory account associated?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    >> Are you saying that if an Active Directory account has the access to a shared mailbox, and then this account can be used for creating the Streaming subscription for that mailbox
    Yes that's correct (try it yourself with the EWSEditor)
    >> In other words, the way how Exchange Server works is that the new messages like new emails are automatically sending to all of the AD accounts which have the access to a mailbox.
    Not sure what you mean by this ? A Shared a Mailbox is just like any other Exchange Mailbox if you have rights to the Folder then you can create a subscription against it. There is no automation involved.

  • Shared mailboxes disappearing from Outlook 2010 profile

    Ever since we upgraded to Exchange 2013 a few weeks back, one particular user keeps having to add her Shared Mailboxes to her Outlook 2010 profile every morning.  She adds them and the next morning they'll be gone again. 
    She is the only user in a building of 50 who has this issue and it happens daily.  I understand that it only takes a couple minutes to add them back, but it is starting to be more than an annoyance.  
    Sadly I haven't been able to find a solution.  
    Would someone here have an idea what could be going on?  
    Thanks, 
    Jake

    Hi Jake,
    From your description, only one user has an issue that shared mailbox disappears from her mailbox. I recommend her follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
    1. Please use Exchange online mode to check if shared mailbox can appear.
    2. Please create a new profile to verify if the issue persists.
    If the issue persists, I recommend her install the latest Outlook 2010 Service Pack and check the result.
    Hope it helps.

  • Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

    Hi,

    If you are using EWS to access a mailbox other than the one connected to a specific account, you will want to check out EWS impersonation.  I've found it to be more reliable than any other method for accessing a second mailbox.

  • AD custom6 attribute and group memberships for shared mailboxes

    I have 900 shared mailboxes that are in Exchange 2007. These mailboxes have no owners and are provided access to the users threw AD groups. I need a script that will produce Each users custom6 attribute (SID is there) along with the shared mailboxes they

  • Send as not working on shared mailbox in Exchange 2010

    Sorry this is for Exchange 2010 not 2013, but that was not a choice in the Forums list.
    I have created a Shared Mailbox a few months ago and gave one use full access rights and send as permissions. This worked perfectly since it was created. On Friday, the user started getting:
    Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
    You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission.
    If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
    There have been no changes made to any of the rights or permissions anywhere. The shared mailbox properties still show this user in the full access and send as list. The shared accounts address is available in the GAL so that is not an issue.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I could probably recreate this mailbox, but would rather fix the issue or at least know what happened in case it does it again.
    Nick Laurino

    Hello,
    Please follow the Riaz J.Butt's suggestions.
    Besides, I recommend you restart IIS services to check the result.
    Please check if this user has send as permission in ADUC.
    Please open ADUC, click View, choose Advanced Features, choose the shared account under Users, right-click the shared account and then choose Properties, choose Attribute Editor, check msExchDelegateList value.

  • Office 365 Shared Mailbox in Exchange Admin

    I am creating shared mailboxes in my Office 365 account and I want all the users on my domain to have access to all of the mailboxes. Is there any way I can set this up automatically, instead of manually adding each user to each shared mailbox and
    then having to remember to add all new users into each shared mailbox?
    Also is there anyway I can only allow them to have View-Only permissions on these mailboxes?
    Thanks 

    Hi Lauren,
    the cmdlet add-mailboxpermission is avaliable for Exchange Online, too.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb124097(v=exchg.150).aspx
     So you can receive a list for all your users mailboxes, and then you run add-mailboxpermission to all of them.
    $mymailboxlist = get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited
    $mymailboxlist | foreach-object {
                     $resourceMailbox = $_
                     $mymailboxlist | foreach-object {
                             $permittedMailboxAccess = $_
        add-mailboxpermission -identity $resourceMailbox -user $permittedMailboxAccess -accessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All
    In that example script you may ignore warning messages that a user already had access to her own mailbox.
    You may add logic to the code to avoid that :)
    If you do not know how to connect to Exchange online (required to run that code) please see
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj984289(v=exchg.150).aspx

  • Message recall from shared mailbox greyed out Outlook 2010

    Hello,
    Can anyone advise if it's possible to recall a message sent from a shared mailbox? The user has full access permissions to the shared mailbox but the 'recall this message' option is greyed out.
    We have installed the hotfix below but it says the update is already installed on the system?
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475877/en-gb
    This is using Windows 8, Outlook 2010 32bit and Exchange 2007 SP3.

    Hi,
    Try to remove and grant the user the permission to the shared mailbox again to see if the issue still exists.
    This issue should have been fixed by kb2475877, please also make sure Office is patched up to date.
    We can try with a new profile to setup the account, check if the issue persists:

  • One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

    Hi!
    I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
    For starters:
    We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
    Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply 
    to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
    1. Configured one shared mailbox.
    2. Configured multiple distribution groups
    3.  made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
    4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
    5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory. 
    6.  Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
    I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
    I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email. 
    the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox. 
    I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
    When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account. 
    I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses. 
    Any suggestions ? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    As what
    Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
    it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
    According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
    limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
    By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
    DWORD: MaxNumExchange
    Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)

  • How do I set up a shared mailbox on Outlook 2010

    I am using Outlook 2010 on my desktop and Exchange online for Office 365.  I have set up my Outlook 2010 to receive emails via POP3 settings.  I have also set up a shared mailbox on Exchange and given everyone permission to the mailbox. 
    How do I get the shared mailbox to download onto my Outlook 2010 on my desktop? 

    I set up as POP3 because when I set it up as exchange it created a new email address on my list that did not contain my current contact informaiton and calendar.  How to I get that onto the exchange email so I can use shared mailboxes?
    You need to Add the account as an Exchange account. Auto Account Setup should create the correct account type. To move calendar and contacts (and any mail not on the server), open the calendar and switch to a list view. Select all and drag or use Move to
    folder to move the appointments. If you use Move, meeting updates will work. If you use Copy to folder, any meeting updates you send or receive for the copied items won't work.
    Open the contacts folder and select all, and Move to folder. If you use Copy to folder, Contact Groups may be broken and not update.
    Move or copy any mail that needs to be in the Exchange mailbox. If you have a lot, you can use Export.

  • Shared mailbox shows emails and subfolders of the users mailbox in Outlook

    After We migrated the Exchange from 2010 to 2013 any shared mailbox has been migrated  is showing the inbox and all the subfolders from the user's mailbox in Outlook, instead of the shared mailbox content.
    note: if we create new shared mailbox it works fine without any issue.
    We have tried to removed full access permissions and re-added full access permissions, disabling AutoMapping and then added the shared mailbox manually in Outlook and that works fine but it is not a solution for us as we have 400+ shared mailbox and
    we cannot do it for every user have access on each shared mailbox.
    any ideas.
    Ayman Saleh

    Hi,
    Please check if this issue persists in Outlook online mode.
    After you remove the full access permissions, the shared mailbox will disappear from Outlook automatically. When you add the full access permission then, the shared mailbox will appear again in Outlook. There is no need to add shared mailbox manually.
    Please remove the full access permission and then re-add the full access permission. This time, you can make use of the AutoMapping feature to check if shared mailbox display properly.

  • "Set of folders can not be opened. you must connect to microsoft exchange with current profile" geeting error while opening shared mailbox in outlook 2007

    Hello Folks,
    I am having exchange sever 2007 SP3. currently facing issue with one shared mailbox. One of the user is not able to open that mailbox from outlook 2010.
    I can able to add that mailbox in the outlook but while opening the outlook it is asking for password. Outlook is not accepting user password for that mailbox. I have removed that user from full access and added that user again.
    Other shared mailbox is working fine with same outlook profile and other user can also able to access that problematic shared mailbox.
    Can anyone tell how to troubleshoot..?
    Thanks, Chinmay.

    Hi,
    How do you open the shared mailbox in Outlook?
    Please remove the shared mailbox from your Outlook totally and follow the following steps to open it:
    1. Open Outlook, click File > Account Settings
    > Account Settings.
    2. Click Change and make sure Use Cached Exchange Mode is checked.
    3. Click More Settings > Advanced tab.
    4. Click Add next to Open these additional mailboxes and type the shared mailbox.
    5. Click Ok > OK. Then the shared mailbox would be listed under the Navigation Pane.
    Alternatively, we can create a new Outlook profile in Outlook and setup the shared mailbox. If it is asking for credentials, we can use the user account who have full access permission to the shared mailbox for authentication.

  • Opening a shared mailbox in Outlook 2013 (office 365) returns "Cannot Expand Folder" error.

    Hi!
    We've just upgraded from our old Domino email server to Office 365 E1 and running an on-premise Exchange 2013 hybrid server.
    In Outlook 2013, when trying to expand a shared mailbox, It asks me to enter my outlook credentials. Trying so doesn't work and it continues to ask repeatedly. If I click cancel, I get the following error:
    "Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available.
    Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance."
    The error only occurs in Outlook 2013 and it happens to all staff who are using Outlook 2013. Shared mailboxes are accessible in Outlook 2010 and OWA with no issues.
    I have tried recreating profiles, removing and re-adding permissions, disabling auto-mapping. I've tested with creating shared mailbox in Exchange Online and on our hybrid server.

    Hi,
    Check if the kb below matches your scenario:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2992644
    This problem occurs only when the following conditions are true:
    You are using Microsoft Outlook 2013 client version 15.0.4641.1001.
    The client is connected by using Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP).
    To resolve this issue, apply the update that is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • Exchange 2013 - Shared Mailbox Permissions

    Here is what I am trying to do. I would like to create a shared mailbox in exchange 2013 for time off requests for my employees. I will have the mailbox to be something like
    [email protected] If an employee is sick or requesting time off, they can email this shared mailbox or send a meeting request.
    I would then like the ability for ALL employees to be able to have read access to the mailbox and Calendar associated with it, and I would like to have managers have Full access to it and to be able to approve calendar requests so that they are entered into
    the calendar.
    Is this possible? How can I set read only to the inbox and calendar for a shared mailbox? I would also like to be able to have the shared mailboxes automatically added to all user's Outlook.
    Thanks!

    Simply grant Full Access to the managers.  Then for everyone else you can grant read only access to just the Calendar.
    Here is an example on how to do this -
