### Manually add resources

To create resources in Microsoft follow the guide [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/manage/room-and-equipment-mailboxes?view=o365-worldwide#set-up-room-and-equipment-mailboxes).

If you have already created your resources and you want to import them into UMA click [here](/uma-knowledgebase/getting-started/set-up-your-organisation/add-resources.md).

### Bulk creation using PowerShell <a href="#resource-creation-powershell" id="resource-creation-powershell"></a>

Open Microsoft Excel and add the resources in the below format ensuring the name, email address and capacity field are populated.&#x20;

Once populated save the excel document as a .CSV file.

Open PowerShell and use the following commands:

Allow the running of remote scripts

```
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
```

Connect to Exchange Online

```
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $UserCredential -ShowProgress $true
```

Import the .CSV file into PowerShell

{% hint style="info" %}
Global administrator credentials are required to run this step.
{% endhint %}

```
Import-csv .\Resources.csv | foreach{ New-Mailbox -Name $_.name -Room -PrimarySmtpAddress $_.emailaddress -ResourceCapacity $_.capacity }
```

If successful you should now see an output from PowerShell which looks similar to the below showing the resources being created within your Microsoft 365 tenant.
