Hi.

I've been looking how to setup the manager in a Shared mailbox with PowerShell but I haven't found how to do it.

I can set-up this with the EAC (Organization -> Manager) but I would like to do it in Powershell, it's possible?

Thanks.

    The Manager property is set on the user object, so your command should be: 

    Set-User -Identity <Shared_Mailbox> -Manager <Manager_Identity>

    I'm pretty sure it's possible with the Set-Mailbox cmdlet.

    I thought the same but now I'm not sure or maybe the option in PowerShell is a bit hidden and I'm not able to find it

    I've had a busy week .

    I find the cmdlet Set-Mailbox but seems that this command can not managed the Manager.

    You have given me a clue with the Set-ADUser then I tried to use the Get-ADgroup, it seems that I can see the manager with the command Get-ADgroup -Identity MAILBOX - Properties ManagedBy.

    Now I have another problem, I'm not sure 100% but seems that Get-ADgroup can not find disabled groups at least I don't find any other reason. All shared Mailbox have their AD Group Disabled.

    I'm lost :-(

    First. Thanks to all.

    Finally with your advices I've achieved consult the manager.

    $newmanager = (Get-ADUser xxxxxx).DistinguishedName

    And set-up or update.

    Set-User -Identity <Shared_Mailbox> -Manager <Manager_Identity>

    Excuse my English.
