Which mailbox can you assign to a meeting location or to a resource such as a projector?

The correct answer is resource mailboxes. Resource mailboxes are designed specifically to represent physical assets, such as meeting rooms, projectors, and other equipment that can be reserved or scheduled for use. By utilizing resource mailboxes, organizations can streamline the process of booking these assets, ensuring that they are available and properly managed when needed.

These mailboxes allow for automatic calendar management, meaning that when a user attempts to schedule a meeting and requests the resource, the system can automatically accept or decline the meeting based on the availability of the resource. This functionality is essential for efficient scheduling and helps prevent double bookings of rooms or equipment.

While equipment mailboxes serve a similar purpose by representing equipment such as projectors, they are typically categorized as resource mailboxes within the Exchange environment, focusing on the management and scheduling aspects. Shared mailboxes are intended for use by multiple users who need access to a common mailbox, such as for managing shared communication but are not specifically designed for resource management. Distribution mailboxes, on the other hand, are used to distribute emails to a group of users and do not correlate to physical resources that can be scheduled.
