Alright, let me try to explain the issue here. I created a Room Mailbox on exchange 2007 to use for booking rooms. My issue now is that its supposed to be locked down for specfic users. On exchange, I've given full access to those specfic users. I aslo logged into the Room Mailbox account and via OWA and Outlook 2007 set up the resource scheduling to only those users as well. The problem is that if another user creates a new meeting using the scheduling assistant and adds that room and just picks a random date and time, it will still book the room. How do I set this up to not allow specfic users from booking the room? It they try to open it up as a share, they'll get notification that access is denied. I'm looking for that same thing when using the scheduling assistant. I'm must be missing something somewhere Thanks

You can restrict delivery to the mailbox through Set-Mailbox -RejectMessagesFrom or -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom. Best practice would be to create a mail-enabled universal security group with the names of the users allowed or disallowed (one or the other) to send to the mailbox.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".

HiYou could use the Exchange Management Shell to set resource booking policies.To control who can schedule a resource, use the parameters with the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings command.You could refer to below link:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996338(EXCHG.80).aspxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124987(EXCHG.80).aspxAnd there is a good teamblog about how to Create and configure a meeting room mailbox with Exchange Server 2007.
