### 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.meetuma.ai/uma-knowledgebase/integrations/calendar/microsoft-365/add-resources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
