Exchange Server 2013 Sent Items modification and the normal mailbox ?

People,

I've got Exchange Server 2013 that is just on the SP1 with the build number Standard Version 15.0 (Build 847.32)
When I execute the below script to modify the sent items to be copied in the mailbox, using the script:

Get-Mailbox HelpDesk | Set-Mailbox -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $true -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $true

Open in new window


I got this error message:
MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled can only be set on shared mailboxes

From the Powershell result of this mailbox properties, I can see:
IsShared : False

So what can I do to make that Powershell run with no issue ?

Is it possible to change the mailbox type to Shared mailbox without causing the user to lose access or any outage ?

Do I need to modify the user Registry for anyone using the Shared mailbox now ?
Note: The current mailbox "Helpdesk" is working fine (all of my IT team are assigned Full Access Permission in the Delegation tab) until I found out the strange behaviour today.

Thanks.

Ok, so what's the consequence if I run that script to the current mailbox that is not a shared mailbox ?

Should not be problem converting the mailbox type. I did it several times in the past and never faced a problem with permissions, etc.
All of life is about relationships, and EE has made a viirtual community a real community. It lifts everyone's boat
