This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell and the Exchange Management Console to configure resource mailbox properties for resource mailboxes. For example, you can use the ResourceCapacity, Office, and ResourceCustom parameters with the Set-Mailbox cmdlet to configure some of these settings. You can also use the Set-ResourceConfig cmdlet to define these custom properties for resource mailboxes.
