what is the proper way to delete the room mailboxes. i basically delete the object from Active Directory is this the right approach. i have100 room mailboxes in the csv file in the below format and i need to delete from exchange as well as from AD. experts guide me.

Names
room1@Company portal .com
room2@Company portal .com

Answer 1

If the goal is to remove the object completely, then yes, delete from AD and it will be removed from Exchange as well.

$Rooms = import-csv rooms.csv  
$Rooms | % {Remove-RemoteMailbox -Identity $_.Names}  

Test with a few first, before running against the entire list
