This is all very valid points, Mike. Thanks. To answer, I haven't
recreated the profile yet, I may do that today. I know the profile that we
have on the server shouldn't have anything to do with how the script reacts,
however, when the scripts accepts/denies meeting requests, it only makes
sense that it is using the view that this profile see, otherwise how would
duplicate meeting requests get booked to that room? We don't allow
duplicates to be accepted. We are trying a couple of other things that
Siegfried mentioned and if that doesn't work, then I am ready to recreate
the mailbox from scratch. We don't leave Outlook running on this machine
with the mailbox open. That was why we went to the script was to eleviate
having the client open all the time to delegate for the conference rooms.
Thanks for the suggestions and keep 'em coming as you all might think of
something that we haven't tried yet. I am seriously thinking of deleting
and recreating this mailbox though.

Diane-- I read the rest of this thread before replying here... while
everyone is offering valid input, I'd like to take a slightly different
tack. In the message below, you say:
"The place that it is wrong is when I open this
room from the server where we configured the script, and this view is where
the requests are determined if they are accepted or not. So the meetings
aren't getting written to this view, so multiple meetings get booked for the
same time, but can only be seen from the user or another client."
Have you deleted and recreated the profile on the server? Sounds like that
profile may be hosed. I'm having a hard time getting myself around the idea
that the profile on the server has anything to do with the auto-accept
script, though. The script should be profile independent, I would think. I
mean... that was part of the purpose of developing it (I think): to make it
so that someone wouldn't be sitting there with the mailbox open for the
meetings to get scheduled. Since this isn't happening to other conference
rooms, I'm guessing there is a problem with the mailbox itself... have you
recreated the mailbox? One other thought crosses my mind: do you happen to
leave outlook running on the server with that mailbox open? I've seen
strange behavior from the script when the mailbox is open and someone tries
to schedule a meeting (although usually the meeting request gets declined,
not what you are seeing).
Lori-- you have _got_ to have the worst luck with this script of anyone I
know! I don't know if any of the above applies in your case or not.
Tom M.-- re: footnote #4 in another post... I'll see what I can do.

I know that, but I am not in charge of clients or training. This has been a
pet peeve of mine for over a year, but no one will touch it until we can
prove that the script isn't causing all the problems. And why would this
affect only this one room and not the other 49? I know users who look at
the calendar this way on the other rooms and this is the only room that we
see mismatched meetings between the server and the client.
I have also created a brand new profile for this room on my workstation and
opened the room on my workstation and I see exactly what we see when we do
file, open other user's. The place that it is wrong is when I open this
room from the server where we configured the script, and this view is where
the requests are determined if they are accepted or not. So the meetings
aren't getting written to this view, so multiple meetings get booked for the
same time, but can only be seen from the user or another client.

FYI Don't let the users open the rooms using file -> open -> other users
folder. This can corrupt the f/b time on the mailbox/room.
