How to auto share calendar for room mailbox

Hi everyone,

not sure if this is right place to post but currently im using exchange 2013 gui (not powershell)

i have 10 different conference rooms set up each one is a room mailbox

I know how to share the calendar of a room mailbox. Currently I give full access of the conference rooms to my acc and i then log on to each mailbox of the room mailboxes to share the calendar to all users in my company.

The problem is everytime a new user is added (user mailbox) i would have to go to each mailbox of the conference rooms and share the calendar again to the new users.

This is too inefficient and i was wondering is there a way in which every time a new user mailbox is added the resources(calendars) would be shared automatically to the user?

Thank you!

Hi thiago,

Thanks, I actually looked over those sites already. I just started using exchange like a few days ago.

Is there a good way to do what that guy in 2nd site did without powershell but only the gui (eac)

Sharing calendar = basically giving some type of permission  + an invitation to add to calendars

Now you can give same permission to Default user rather than individual users, you can go to Calendar permission and do that, now ask users in welcome email to add it into their outlook manually ;)

Oops sorry, I didn't word the question right. So every time a new user is created I want them to be able to view the calendar for the room mailbox directly without manually adding anything so everything is automatic. Because if I have 20 room mailboxes wouldnt the user have to accept all of it (im not sure i havent tried it yet) Is this possible? Thank you!

If you change the permission of Default user on any calendar, that means it applies to everyone who tries to access calendar, regardless of old user or new user... so you don't have to do that for individual user whenever anyone joins...
