Then they fixed it for Exchange 2010, because the Identity parameter can come
from the pipe.
Sorry for not checking on 2007...

I think I tried something like that once and couldn’t get it to work. When I
checked it with get-command, it said none of the parameter sets accepted
pipeline input so I decided it probably wasn’t going to be possible.
I ended up using a script like this (it’s been scrubbed) to clone most of the
properties from one resource to another when we upgraded from E2k3. It’s kind
of a kludge, and I’d probably do it differently if I had to do it again, but
FWIW:
It will either clone all the properties directly (uncomment the #iex), or build
a script you can tweak settings on or just do a search/replace on the mailbox
name before you run it.
I excluded Identity for obvious reasons, and the array properties. The array
properties could be added, but it would take some additional code. I didn’t
need them at the time, so I just left then out.
$mbx = <target mailbox>
if ($mbx -match "\s"){$mbx = "'" + $mbx + "'"}
$rsc_base = get-mailboxcalendarsettings <source mailbox>
$rsc_props = $rsc_base | Get-Member -MemberType Property
$cmds = @()
$rsc_props |%{
$setting = $($rsc_base.($_.name))
$excluded =
"Identity","RequestInPolicy","RequestOutOfPolicy","ResourceDelegates"
if ($excluded -notcontains $_.name.tostring()){
if ($setting.tostring() -eq "False"){$setting = '$False'}
if ($setting.tostring() -eq "True"){$setting = '$True'}
if ($setting.tostring() -match "\s"){$setting = "'" + $setting + "'"}
}
$cmd_str = "set-mailboxcalendarsettings $mbx -" + $_.name + " $setting"
$cmds += $cmd_str
#iex $cmd_str
}
$cmds | Out-File set_resourcesettings.ps1

It's not even that hard
get-mailboxcalendarsettings "template calendar" | set-mailboxcalendarsettings
-param1 value -param2 value
etc. etc.

I'd think you could attempt to play with the -instance switch on the command.
$Master = get-mailboxcalendarsettings "Master Conference Room"
$Master.displayname = "New Conference Room name"
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -identity "NewConferenceRoom" -instance $Master
I have not tested this, ended up writing a reusable script that grants same
settings for all new conference rooms.

All,
This is more of a Powershell question, but it’s relating to an Exchange
problem, so hopefully someone can help me.
I’ve got a resource mailbox configured just right, and I’m going to be creating
a few more in the next couple of weeks. Is there any way I can export the
configuration of the existing mailbox and use it to set up the new mailboxes
correctly, instead of manually entering all the various parameters into
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings?
Thanks
Richard
