You could add the new room by using PowerShell commands over the ExchangeOnline Module in PowerShell (2.1) or use the graphical interface in the M365 Admin Center (2.2)

2.1 PowerShell

a. Install or start Exchange Online PowerShell Module. You can install the Module directly in the PowerShell on your Computer:

  1. Update your PowerShell to the latest version by using the following commands:

    Code Block
    winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell --source winget

    Please note that if you had PowerShell V5 before the new PowerShell V7 will be a new app on your PC, we recommend to use the version 7.x.

  2. Now you can install the Module by the following commands:

    Code Block
    Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement

    If you get an error message like the following, you have to allow PowerShell to run scripts:

    Code Block
    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine

    After the installation, we recommend to set the policy again to “restricted”:

    Code Block
    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy restricted -Scope LocalMachine

  3. You need to import the module :

    Code Block
    Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

b. Execute the following command and connect to your Microsoft365 using an admin account.

Code Block
Connect-ExchangeOnline

  1. Create a Mail-enabled security group with the following command. Here the name of the group is RoomzResources. You have to replace the PrimarySmtpAddress with a valid domain name.

Code Block
New-DistributionGroup -Name RoomzResources -Alias RoomzResources -PrimarySmtpAddress RoomzResources@myorganization.com -Type security

  1. Apply an application access policy with the following command. Replace the myAppId with the Application (client) ID from the previous section. Replace RoomzResources with the name of the group you created.

Code Block
New-ApplicationAccessPolicy -AppId myAppId -PolicyScopeGroupId RoomzResources -AccessRight RestrictAccess -Description "Restricted ROOMZ Access"

  1. Fill this group with all room mailboxes. Don't forget to change the name of RoomzResources should you have used another name:

    Code Block
    Get-Mailbox| where {$_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq "RoomMailbox"} | foreach {Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity RoomzResources -Member $_.UserPrincipalName}

  1. Or fill this group with specific room mailboxes. You have to execute the command for each room.

Code Block
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "RoomzResources" -Member room1@roomz.io

  1. In order to reduce the propagation time required by Microsoft Azure, this command can accelerate the process:

Code Block
Update-DistributionGroupMember RoomzResources

2.2 Graphical user interface

  • Login to the Admin Portal of M365 and browse to “active teams and groups” :

  • Select Mail-enabled security and search sear for ROOMZ Ressources, click on Members and View all and manage members:
