Hello,
I have Exchange 2013. I run the following command to convert a user to a room
Set-Mailbox -Identity "Rom 888" -Type Room -EnableRoomMailboxAccount $true -RoomMailboxPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -String "AnyPass1#3" -AsPlainText -Force) You don't have permission to directly change a mailbox account password without providing old password. Reset Passwordrole is required for directly changing password.
I'm logged in to the exchange server as the domain admin - no modifications have been made to the domain admin account - it has the default rights. If I open AD users and computers on that computer I can can change passwords.
