Create a room list in Outlook

With a room list, you can manage Outlook mailboxes for the rooms. Learn how to create such a list here.

1. Start Microsoft Exchange PowerShell.
2. Enter the following command to create a room list for Building 32: "New-DistributionGroup -Name" Building 32 Conference Rooms "-OrganizationalUnit" contoso.com/rooms "–RoomList"
3. To add another room to this list, enter the following command: "Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity" Building 32 Conference Rooms "-Member ". In our example we added "confroom3223" to the room list of building 32.
4. If you have already created a distribution group for your conference rooms in the past, you can convert them into a room list with the following command: "Set-DistributionGroup -Identity" Building 34 Conference Rooms "–RoomList". In this example we convert the distribution group from building 34 into a room list.
