HI Jonas Got the above link .let me check and get back !! Thanks

Hi Sorry, I did just see that it was about Exchange 2007, here's another link http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/management-administration/managing-resource-mailboxes-exchange-server-2007-part1.html Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi Jonas, Went though the above said link and understand , the Auto accpet for scheduling the meeting can be done via OWA and outlook Delegation (Manual) Thanks Jonas..Please confirm whether my understandings is correct or not?

Hi Yes you are correct And you can use EMS for configuring Auto Acceptant, or else use OWA like you wrote Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -id *** -AutomateProcessing AutoAcceptJonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi Jonas, Thanks a lot. But last one query. Once i created the resource mailbox and found in EMS and it automatically taken get-mailboxcalendarsettings -identity confxyx it shows as identity AutomateProcessing -------- ------------------ Mydomain.com/E2K7 Users/Conference/Confxyz AutoAccept then why should i enable the auto accept in OWA? Correct me if am wrong. If possible can you create a one resource mailbox from your end and check the above EMS command.. Please.....

Hi, By default, a newly created Resource Mailbox's AutomateProcessing is AutoUpdate not AutoAccept. That's why you didn't receive the automate response unless enabling it in OWA. It's stange about the wrong result that came up when running the command. How did you create the Resource Mailbox? By using EMS or EMC? AllenAllen Song

Hi Allen Song i created the resource via EMC....any difference then????
