For example, as I’ll mention later, Outlook is not as flexible as I would like in helping people to arrange meetings in different time zones that require a room in each zone. Equally I was interested to see how time zones are handled and discovered that, in my view, this could be done better. I have configured such a test environment because it is useful to be able to show different sites with a different naming convention. Various users have been set-up in each site such as users, admin users (secretaries), resources (projectors), and rooms. Outlook 2007 and OWA 2007 are used as clients. Each site has a Mailbox server and a combined Hub-Transport and Client-Access server. My test environment consists of servers in two sites. Unless you are careful, you will have dissatisfied users this is because Outlook 2007 does not always perform as expected, especially with third party add-ons. I would however be careful in rolling out Outlook 2007 to the entire user base before thorough testing is carried out. This is important because much of the user interface, such as the Scheduling Assistant, is held in Outlook 2007. To make best use of this solution you must ensure that Outlook 2007 is being used by those who will be interacting with the resources and managing their use. With the ‘Availability Service’ it is now possible to get real-time information about resource availability without the need to wait for public folder replication to occur (so long as Outlook 2007 is being used). It is also helpful to be able to distinguish between rooms and equipment as it is easier for users, and gives more flexibility when adding custom resource properties, as we shall see later. It allows these mailboxes to have special functionality but yet to be secure as disabled users. Having a mailbox type of “Resource” is useful because it makes administration separate. Exchange 2007 also contains the type of ‘ Auto Accept Agent’ functionality that was missing from Exchange 2003. These exist as disabled accounts in Active Directory and can be managed in various ways. In Exchange 2007, it is possible to create resource mailboxes that can represent either Rooms or Equipment.
It also means that the design process has been rather more thought through, thereby ensuring a useful solution both at the server and client end.

This means that there is now no need to rely on add-in software such as the ‘Auto Accept Agent’. Using Exchange 2007 for Resource Booking - Simple Talk Skip to contentĪlthough previous versions of Exchange were regularly used to host mailboxes that represented resources, Exchange 2007 was the first version in which these mailboxes were actually different from normal mailboxes. seeĮnable Outlook logging if the issue continues. If it is Exchange 2010, Run the cmdlets Set-CalendarProcessing and check the AutomateProcessing parameter, make sure it is set to AutoUpdate.
