Free/busy Room
Hello, I use Exchange 2007 and find below the steps I follow to create a room that would manually accept request for all users and forward those to a delegate. RESUME: Creating the room: [PS] C:\graig>New-Mailbox -name "COMP _ ROOM 4" -Alias "COMP_ROOM4" -OrganizationalUnit "company.intra/Company/Room mailbox" -UserPrincipalName "COMP_ROOM4@company.intra" -SamAccountName "COMP_ROOM4" -firstname "" -lastname "" -initials "" -database "Cmpexc01\SG04\Company UK" -ROOM Name Alias ServerName ProhibitSendQuota ---- ----- ---------- ----------------- COMP _ ROOM 4 COMP_ROOM4 Cmpexc01 unlimited Adding full permission to accept user’s request: [PS] C:\graig>Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "COMP_ROOM4" -User GRAIG -AccessRights "FullAccess" -InheritanceType "All" Identity User AccessRights IsInherited Deny -------- ---- ------------ ----------- ---- company.intra/Comp...UK\GRAIG {FullAccess} False False Set the manually accept request: [PS] C:\graig>Set-MailboxCalendarSettings "COMP_ROOM4" -AutomateProcessing:AutoAccept –AllBookInPolicy:$false -AllRequestOutOfPolicy:$false -AllRequestInPolicy:$True Add delegate: [PS] C:\graig>Set-MailboxCalendarSettings "COMP_ROOM3" -ResourceDelegates:GRAIG --> QUESTION: In fact I would need to see the ressource as free/busy time and the only way I found to do that was directly from the Outlook client interface (Vers. 2007). I provide me the full right open the room calendar, do right click properties and share the free/busy time. Is there any way to set that from a power command?

Not that I have found. But one thing to add is that it is a bit nicer to have Free/Busy time, subject, location and then use AddOrganizerToSubject $true in Set-MailboxCalendarSettings. That way the end users can see who has booked the meeting if they would need to perhaps have the meeting moved to free up a timeslot for an even more important meeting.

Thanks Jesper. That option is set as true When I follow the above steps I gave. If that option has to be enable from Outlook client interface, so be it.. But I just wanna be sure that there is no other way to allow user's to see the room's meeting (free busy time etc...)

Hi Graiggoriz, By default, when we use outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 we could not view the resource mailbox's calendar free/busy information, but we could do it through outlook 2010. If we want to achieve the target, we need to change the default calendar permisson for all the mailbox, some related information for you: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/569849ce-7f2e-430d-bdf1-cc4adae5e2ff http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrdevelopment/thread/b8b48055-2ffd-4530-8d39-5cb5b3705c19 Regards!

This doesn't match up with my experience. Could you please explain what you mean? Thanks.Jesper Bernle | Blog: http://xchangeserver.wordpress.com

Hi Jesper, What I mean, if we open the resource mailbox calendar or other mailbox calendar to check the free/busy information, we could not open it through outlook 2003 and outlook 2007, but we could achieve it through outlook 2010. I have made some tests in the exchange 2007 scenario, how about you. If I have missed something, please tell me. Regards!
