How to change default mailbox language?

Hi!

Our organization is located in Italy but if I create a new mailbox and do not make a prior access to OWA (where I am asked to specify time zone and language) the default folder names are shown in English when I set up the account at Outlook 2016/2019. Is there a cmdlet that allows you to set the Italian language without having to log in all the users at the same time? Thank you

    Hey,

     

    you can do this via a CMDlet called "Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration": 

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/client-access/set-mailboxregionalconfiguration?view=exchange-ps

     

    basically this is the needed CMDlet

     

    Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity "Marcelo Teixeira" -Language it-IT -LocalizeDefaultFolderName

     

    All the best

      Thanks!

      But is it possible to apply the command to all the exisiting and future mailboxes?

        Do I mean multiple mailboxes with the same command, or do I need to run the command one mailbox at a time?
