Setting permissions for free/busy information on resource accounts...
Does anyone know of a way to set the new Free/Busy permissions (frightsFreeBusySimple ["Free/Busy time"] and frightsFreeBusyDetailed ["Free/Busy time, subject, location"]) using eg. pfdavadmin, or another tool? I have a customer that wants everyone to be able to see the subject, organizer, locationand duration on all resource mailboxes. The default setting for a new resource mailbox in Exchange 2007 is Free/Busy Time, which lets the users see that the resource is unavailable, but nothing more. The only way I know to change this is to log on to each resource mailbox and manually set the permission to Free/Busy time, Free/Busy time, subject, location or Full Details (equivalent to Reviewer permission) manually. Quite a bit of work if you have 100+ resources. I can use pfdavadmin to set the permissions to reviewer, but that is too broad, we only want Free/Busy time, subject, location. According to what I have found these permissions are set through the PR_ACL_TABLE property of the Calendar folder. I can enumerate that property with pfdavadmin, but I cannot decode the format so I can add my own permissions. Anyone know a way to do this? Of course, the bet ting woudl be a PS cmdlet... Thanks, Morgan

I do have the same problem, have you found any solution for this yet?One way wich work is to...Add-MailboxPermission -Identity 'resource' -User 'DOMAIN\All users' -AccessRights 'FullAccess'But I do not think that is an recommended work around, ;^)/ Jesper Johag, Sweden

How many have you got? You could give yourself full access with the command from the previous post, open each calendar with your outlook client and set the free/busy publishing info.

Well, there seems I have to do this for all of our 53 resource mailboxes, somewhat tedious... I was hoping for a neat PS-script...Thanks! Now I know what to do.
