• Exchange:

• Deleted resource mailbox name should be reusable.    When deleting a mailbox in MachPanel the user remains in AD. This is also the case for resource mailboxes. But when a new resource mailbox is to be created no existing users can be selected (like it would be possible for user mailboxes). So, MachPanel should delete the user along with the resource mailbox.

• Exchange 2013 Public Folder (mail enabled) OU: While creating Public Folder (mail enabled), MachPanel adds a mailbox too.  The OU for user of that PF mailbox is being set as (domain.local/users) which is not the correct container.  This mailbox user should be created under the organization's respective OU (example: domain.local/Hosting/client Organization).

• Public folder permissions - resource mailbox shouldn't appear in listing    .

• Exchange member Server Alias verification: There should be Verification server alias on test service because sometime it creates problem in some operation.
