Neil,

Let me make sure I have the correct scenario. You have Admins that are manipulating room bookings. So User A books room1 however they need to be moved to room2?

Hi,

We are looking to use Exchange 2010 resource bookings replacing a web-based tool we currently have. Our Admin team have reservations because they are quite often asked to reschedule rooms for people to allow block bookings.

I’ve been playing with 2010 and don’t seem to be able to do this. I tried using permissions on the mailbox and can copy the meeting to another room and decline or delete it from the original room, but when the meeting organiser opens the booking again it is wrong. It does add the new room in, but it keeps the old one in place.

This is despite the user getting a declined message from the original room.

Are we missing something, or is this not possible?

Thanks,

Neil.

I see your offer above to assist Brenda back on February 4th, 2008 at 9:57am ….

We have a client who WAS on SBS2003 and their LOB app was able to inject appointments into their staff’s calendars (we had to enable some event script and limited it from a specific IP).

Now of course Exchange 2010 is more secure and has dropped whatever technology was enabling this in Exchange 2003.

I see autoaccept as a tool that may help but I have not been able to make it autoaccept invites from external senders.

Is there a way to allow autoaccept to accept iCal invites from external and can we limit this to being from a specific IP or sender smtp address ?

Do you think this can be done ?

Thanks
David

Hi,

I have recently found out this feature excits.

I set up a new room mailbox, all ok.

however within outlook 2007 and select new meeting request. then you have the location option with the drop down. mine is blank!?! why? surely my rooms should be here i created.

Another thing is the room mailboxes are not showing up in the address list. Why is that?

from what i can make out you should have a “all rooms” section which i dont have. i can create one and tell it to list the rooms but should it already be there? Could this be why it is not showing up under location?

It would also be nice to view all the booking within this room mailbox, how would a user have easy access? mainly to check who has what booked and keeping tabs on things. Is the only way adding it as a calander? within your own client or is there another way?

Thanks.

Any idea why forwardrequeststodelegate is enabled by default when adding a delegate? With this enabled, after the delegate simply views, or responds to the meeting, the meeting details are visible. You can revert this behavior back to Exchange 2003 by setting forwardrequesttodelegates to $false, and then using Outlook to set the copy to delegates option. If you use the copy option it keeps the organizer as the subject with the body removed. This is a big change and there doesn’t appear to be a server side way of doing it. I’m guessing the behavior is different because the forward requests is literally forwarding and the copy is… well… copying.

Make sense?

This worked for me setting up delegates meeting requests forwards!

Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -Identity “Training Room” -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept -ResourceDelegates “Isabelle Dupont” -AllBookInPolicy:$false -AllRequestInPolicy:$true

I read through all of the current messages, but I could not locate a fix. I am setting up Exchange 2007 Resource booking for room reservations. No matter what I try, I do not receive any notifications to the originator or to the delegate. I would like to perform a manual booking, I set it to AutoUpdate. I send a request but never receive any notification back. I log into the resource mailbox and there is no alert or new message of any sort. If I log into the resource as the delegate, I see that I can manually approve the meeting. The originator gets an acceptance. I have everything set that I know of. Thanks for any help.

We have Exchange 2007 with some 2003 and 2007 clients. We created room mailboxes and copied entries from a public calendar to the room calendar. Problem is, all the entries show up in the scheduling assistant on teh 2007 clients, but some are missing on the scheduling tab of the 2003 clients. Any ideas as to why?
