Re: Exchange 2007 - Ressource Mailbox config

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi Don

Here is the solution:
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -id Room1 -ConflictPercentageAllowed 99
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -id Room1 -MaximumConflictInstances 20

The AllowConflict attribute has to be set on Flase.
With that config, recurring meeting request are accepted as long as the
ConflictPercentageAllowed does not exceed 99% and the
MaximumConflictInstances are not more than 20. The requester receives
an email for every request, on which the room is already occupied.
Single meeting requests are always declined if the requested date is
already occupied.

Regards
Peter

Peter,
I have some bad news, we've been testing this for over a month now and I don't think there is a way to do what you ask. In fact this is exactly what we want as well but I don't think repeating meetings were very high on the Exchange teams priority list.

As Bharat has suggested you can set these parameters but unless you allow conflicts, which definitely does not work for a conference room, these settings don't apply. Unless you can turn on the Allow conflicts, then it works perfectly. The meetings that can be schedule are. You get an email stating it was accepted but tells you which ones were denied.

However it does send an email for every one it had a conflict with, which, if there are many you can get a lot of Declined messages each with it's own date. But even that is tolerable except that if the invite is not a repeating meeting, aka. a single item, your room gets double booked, not good.

There needs to be an option to not allow conflicts but schedule any available dates and report back the ones that didn't work. Maybe we're missing something.... or maybe in SP2? :-)

If I figure out anything else I'll let you know.
Don

You can set the ConflictPercentageAllowed property and/or the MaximumConflictInstances property on a resource mailbox (using Set-MailboxCalendarSettings) to allow a higher number of conflicts for recurring meetings.

This doesn't work exactly as you want... but may help you to get close.

Hi

A user would like to book a room on a weekly basis over a period of 6 month.
The problem is that if the room is already booked only on one of these
timeslots, the whole series is rejected.

I would like to configure the ressource mailbox, that the booking is
accepted except for the date on which the room is already booked from someone
else, and that the user receive a message, on which day he need to chose
another time.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks and regards
Peter
