Sorry if i am not being clear.
All meeting room calendars and bookable equipment (projectors, etc.). In Exchange 2010 they are listed as "Room mailboxes" & "Equipment mailboxes." I want to be able to give certain people admin rights to all these resources without having to do each one individually.
I hope that makes it more clear.
Hi,
I'm still not sure what you looking for, but if you want to give some administators fullmailbox access to these resources, then create a Security Group and add them as a member. Use that security group to give permissions.
Example (Equipments):
(get-mailbox-RecipientTypeDetails equipmentmailbox) | Add-MailboxPermission -user "Rooms-Equipment Administrators" -AccessRights fullaccess
Example (Rooms):
(get-mailbox-RecipientTypeDetails roommailbox) | Add-MailboxPermission -user "Rooms-Equipment Administrators" -AccessRights fullaccess

You can use the add-mailboxfolderfolderpermission cmdlet like below. You can also grant them full mailbox as well.

That is what I want to do but i want to be able to give the administrators fullmailbox access to all the mailboxes at once. Will these examples do it?
Thanks,
