Access a Shared Resource

Requirements

  • The resource you want to manage is listed in the Outlook global address book.
  • You must have an Exchange Mailbox. Not sure?
  • You have appropriate permissions granted by the CAS Postmaster or the resource manager.

Note: Outlook may need to be closed and re-opened in order for your permissions to the new mailbox to be detected.

Adding an Additional Account in Outlook

Adding an Additional Account in Outlook

  1. Click the File menu in Outlook.
  2. Click Info, if you're not already in the Account Information section.
  3. Click Add Account, as shown below:
  4. Enter in the full address of the shared mailbox you'd like to add to Outlook (SharedMailbox@unt.edu is our example):
  5. Click Connect
  6. Outlook will prompt you to authenticate to the mailbox.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Outlook will automatically populate the username field with the shared mailbox address, but you must change this to your E-mail address (use your EUID password). You do not need the shared mailbox password. Both things shown below:

    Change this to your full E-mail address (also known as your UPN) and use your EUID password, as shown below:
  7. Click OK on the Account Setup Complete page

    If you receive an error at this stage:
    1. Try restarting your computer first and try again.
    2. If the error persists: Take a screen shot
    3. Reply to your confirmation e-mail (keeping the Ticket# in the subject line), and paste the screen shot into your reply message.
  8. After the mailbox is added, it's a good idea to Restart Outlook.
  9. Remember: if you are prompted to authenticate to the mailbox again, use your E-mail address and EUID password.
