The reason we’re asking is because we’ve got a Shared Mailbox that needs to be connected to a Distribution list with an Exchange-Hybrid setup, with on-Prem Active Directory. We have removed our on-Prem Exchange server, so we’re not sure if updating our Azure Connect would allow Group Writeback to make the change.

Wondering if converting our Shared Mailbox would create an associated User account, which we could then use to make the connection before converting back to a Shared Mailbox? Would save us from having to export the e-mail in the current shared mailbox, delete it, re-create the account in Active Directory first & convert it to a Shared Mailbox, and import our exported emails…

Wondering if there is a way to create an Office365 shared mailbox from an existing Office 365 user that is unlicensed with no mailbox.

Reason being, currently it appears one can only create a shared mailbox by licensing the user, then converting, then removing the license. Pretty much meaning one must keep a spare license up your sleeve. Small clients do not like this.

Cheers

The idea behind this is to control access to the shared mailbox via AD and not have to log in to Office 365 via powershell or the web and simply to add and remove users from the group in AD

Can you please advise if I can convert regular mailbox to shared mailbox using powershell command?

I guess you could start by googling the error message that you’re seeing.

No direct conversion as far as I know. It would need to be a manual process.
