Hi all, When we create new resource mailboxes, we have to enable a outlook profile -> go into tools -> Options -> Calendar settings -> Resource Schedulingand enable Automatically accept meeting requests and process cancellationsAutomatically decline conflicting meeting requestsI believe this is called Direct Booking. If I run the command Get-MailboxCalendarSettings Resource1 |fl prior to the outlook configuration, the output doesnt change if I run the command after the outlook configuration.Howcome cant I enable these 2 settings from the exchange shell? Are they some outlook attributes which only can be set from outlook?Thanks/Christian

To set auto accept: [PS] C:\>Set-MailboxCalendarSettings Resource1 -AutomateProcessing:AutoacceptTo set booking policy for a security group: Set-MailboxCalendarSettings'roomalias' -BookInPolicy:'security group'-AllBookInPolicy:$false

Hi, Please understand the Direct Booking is not same as Resource Scheduling in Exchange 2007. Direct Booking is an Outlook Feature and the Resource Scheduling is an Exchange 2007 feature. For your reference: Resource scheduling in Exchange Server 2007 http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/05/14/438944.aspx For Exchange 2007, we recommend that you use Resource Scheduling instead of Direct Booking unless you have special requirement. I would like to explain that the Direct Booking cannot be enabled from command shell. You can only enable Resource Scheduling from command shell.
