Shared Mailboxes - 2.Jul.2007 3:26:35 PM

I have created a shared mailbox using the command:

new-Mailbox -alias "NewShared" -name "NewShared" -database "Mailbox Database" -org Users -shared -UserPrincipalName NewShared@Domain.com

The mailbox creates fine.

I have shared the mailbox to an individual user using the command:

Add-MailboxPermission "NewShared" -AccessRights FullAccess -user nuser

The permissions work fine and the user can open the mailbox.

When I try to add permissions for group using the command:

Add-MailboxPermission "NewShared" -AccessRights FullAccess -user ngroup

The mailbox is unavailable to any users in the group. They can't open it in Outlook, it gives a permission error. I have tried giving permissions to my groups I made with Exchange and to someolder Domain Local groups in AD.

What am I doing wrong?

add-adpermission -identity "DOMAINNAME\SHAREDMAILBOX" -user USERTHATYOUWANT -extendedrights receive-as

I appreciate your reply. So how would that command look if I wanted to give a group permission to use the mailbox however they liked? Also, it seems that even if I give full permissions to an individual user at the top level of the mailbox, those permissions don't trickle down.

I notice that when I give full access to the mailbox to a group using Outlook 2003, that doesn't work either. I still have to give it to individual users. Have you shared boxes to groups?
