Apply a sharing policy to mailboxes

  • Άρθρο

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013

Sharing policies are a part of federated sharing and enable user-established, people-to-people sharing of calendar information with different types of external users. The sharing policy that an admin applies to the user's mailbox determines what level of access a user can share and with whom. If you don't change anything, then the default sharing policy applies to all users. If you create a new sharing policy, you have to apply that policy to mailboxes before it takes effect. A sharing policy can be applied to a single user mailbox or to multiple user mailboxes simultaneously. An admin can also disable a user's sharing policy to prevent external access to calendars.

To learn more about federated sharing, see Sharing.

Use the Shell to apply a sharing policy to one or more mailboxes

This example applies the sharing policy Contoso to a single mailbox for the user Barbara.

Set-Mailbox -Identity Barbara -SharingPolicy "Contoso"

This example specifies that all user mailboxes in the Marketing department use the sharing policy Contoso Marketing.

Get-Mailbox -Filter "Department -eq 'Marketing'" | Set-Mailbox -SharingPolicy "Contoso Marketing"

This example returns all mailboxes that have the sharing policy Contoso applied, and it sorts the users into a table that displays only their aliases and email addresses.

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Where {$_.SharingPolicy -eq "Contoso" } | format-table Alias, EmailAddresses

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-Mailbox and Get-Mailbox.
