How to automatically accept meeting request? (Exchange end)
Environment: Outlook2007+Exchange 2007 I know in OL2007 we can use tools->option->calendar option->resource scheduling->processing meeting request. But, can we configure it in Exchange side? (To be mentioned, the mailbox which accept the meeting request are not "Room Mailbox") Thank you!

i too have a similar issue and tried your solution, Amit. It seems to work very well. However, I cannot force calendar appointments if there is a conflict. Do you know how I might make that happen?
