I have E2K7 automatic booking working however, when a user sends a meeting cancellation to the resource, the resource does not send a cancellation acknowledgement. Is this by design? many thanks

Answer: Attendess will get recurring single canceled meeting notice in their inbox. Mtg organizers get nothing unless the mtg organizer cancels the entire recurring series. Single meeting request and then cancelation, cancellation goes into mtg org deleted items. Prior to using E2K7 automatic booking, I used ERM (Exchange Resource Manager) and I was used to getting the cancellation notice in the mtg org's inbox but it was a calendar item cancelation but an email message.

I have E2K7 automatic booking working however, when a user sends a meeting cancellation to the resource, the resource does not send a cancellation acknowledgement. Is this by design? many thanks Yes . It is by design. The reason that the Outlook autorespond feature for resources does not work on Exchange 2007 is that the Exchange 2007 Calendar Assistant automatically processes all meeting requests, precluding the need for the Outlook autoresponse feature. When you use Office Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007 together, you cannot use the Resource Scheduling feature (Tools menu, Options command, Calendar Options command, Resource Scheduling command) to manage conference rooms. You must now use a new Exchange 2007 feature called the Resource Booking Assistant. This feature provides all of the functionality of the earlier resource scheduler.
