I have a user( a real pain in the butt user) that is wanting to provide a schedule of when a conference room is planning to be used and when it is not. Below is what she sent me. What do you guys think. Is there any reason I should not do this or should not. Will it eat up a license in exchange? Is there another simpler way to do it? Thanks I have been asked by the Focus Group to setup a schedule for both the upstairs and downstairs conference rooms. I have read about resource scheduling in Outlook. This is what I have found. Outlook 2000 returns to the old Schedule+ way of directly book resources without the need for a script or delegate. Create a mailbox for the resource, then use Outlook 2000 (not an earlier version!) to log directly into the resource mailbox and set the Resource Scheduling options in Tools | Options | Calendar Options. Create a single item in the calendar to make sure that something shows up in its free/busy time for you to check. Also grant the Author role on the Calendar folder to everyone you want to be able to book the resource. The easiest way to do this is with a distribution list in the Global Address List. The clients must do all booking through Outlook 2000. On the Attendee Availability tab of a meeting request, click Invite Others to add one or more resources to the Resources box. Make sure you add them as resources. If you add them as required or optional attendees, the resources will not be automatically booked. TIP: Using your Exchange Server administration tool, set the mailbox to not accept messages from anyone. (A distribution list or group is good for this.) That way, if users forget and add the resource as a required or optional attendee, the request will bounce back to them from the resource mailbox. If you choose more than one resource -- such two comparable conference rooms -- you can click AutoPick and have it find the next available time for either resource. Could you please look into to this and let me know if this or any other way is possible? For all I know we already have something like this setup...
