Room Finder & Room Mailbox Issues
We are using Exchange Online from Microsoft and I'm having issues setting up Room Mailboxes. The guy before me purchased two user accounts for our two conference rooms in order to be able to schedule meetings. I want to change that over to room mailboxes. I created three room mailboxes for our three conference rooms in the portal.microsoftonline.com admin area. Then I created a room distribution group using the Microsoft Online Services Module for PowerShell and added the three room mailboxes. I'm having two issuse and I have a semi-related question. The first issue is that the rooms don't show up in the available room list in the room finder in Outlook 2010. The second issue is that when you select the Conference Rooms distribution group in room finder and it adds the rooms to the scheduling assistant they show up by their e-mail address. (See attached picture) I thought I read somewhere that by default they show up by their display name. I also read a thread on here that said you can just reboot the exchange server to get the rooms to show up in the list. Microsoft would you please reboot the cloud for me? Haha. How can I get them to show up as Front Conference Room instead of fcr@mydomain.com? I already tried resetting the display name via PowerShell. My semi-related question is: my superior said "We want everyone to be able to see the schedule, but not everyone should be able to see the meeting details." Is there a way to set the room mailbox calendar permissions so that everyone can see the room's calendar but only people scheduled to be in a meeting can see said meeting's details? Thank you for your help!!!
