Help with Exchange Auto Attendant
Hello.
I have set up autoattendant previously for our corp environment and it worked flawlessly. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that it broke (while out on PTO nevertheless). As far as everyone knows, there have been no updates nor changes in our lean
IT team. So I am now puzzled as to why it has not worked for the past two weeks. Here are the configuration settings pulled from the Exchange Managment Shell:
AutomateProcessing : AutoAccept
AllowConflicts : False
BookingWindowInDays : 180
MaximumDurationInMinutes : 1440
AllowRecurringMeetings : True
EnforceSchedulingHorizon : True
ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkHours : False
ConflictPercentageAllowed : 1
MaximumConflictInstances : 0
ForwardRequestsToDelegates : False
DeleteAttachments : True
DeleteComments : True
RemovePrivateProperty : False
DeleteSubject : True
AddOrganizerToSubject : True
DeleteNonCalendarItems : True
TentativePendingApproval : True
EnableResponseDetails : True
OrganizerInfo : True
ResourceDelegates : {Some Delegate}
RequestOutOfPolicy : {}
AllRequestOutOfPolicy : False
BookInPolicy : {}
AllBookInPolicy : True
RequestInPolicy : {}
AllRequestInPolicy : True
AddAdditionalResponse : False
AdditionalResponse :
RemoveOldMeetingMessages : True
AddNewRequestsTentatively : True
ProcessExternalMeetingMessages : False
RemoveForwardedMeetingNotifications : False
MailboxOwnerId : AD ID
Identity : AD ID
IsValid : True
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
The configuration is incorrect. I noticed that you set some delegates and enable “AllRequestUnPolicy”, however, “ForwardRequestsToDelegates” is set to False, and the “ConflictPercentageAllowed”
is 1. These settings may conflict.
If you want the resource mailbox to auto accept the meeting requests when it is available, and forward meeting requests to delegate when it is conflict, use the settings below:
AutomateProcessing
: AutoAccept
AllowConflicts
: False
BookingWindowInDays
: 180
MaximumDurationInMinutes
: 1440
AllowRecurringMeetings
: True
EnforceSchedulingHorizon
: True
ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkHours
: False
ConflictPercentageAllowed
: 0
MaximumConflictInstances
: 0
ForwardRequestsToDelegates
: true
DeleteAttachments
: True
DeleteComments
: True
RemovePrivateProperty
: true
DeleteSubject
: True
AddOrganizerToSubject
: True
DeleteNonCalendarItems
: True
TentativePendingApproval
: True
EnableResponseDetails
: True
OrganizerInfo
: True
ResourceDelegates
: {Some Delegate}
RequestOutOfPolicy
: {username}
AllRequestOutOfPolicy
: False
BookInPolicy
:
AllBookInPolicy
: True
RequestInPolicy
:
AllRequestInPolicy
: True
AddAdditionalResponse
: False
AdditionalResponse
:
RemoveOldMeetingMessages
: True
AddNewRequestsTentatively
: True
ProcessExternalMeetingMessages
: False
RemoveForwardedMeetingNotifications : False
MailboxOwnerId
: AD ID
Identity
: AD ID
IsValid
: True
If you are not familiar with the cmdlet (see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335046.aspx), set the resource mailbox in OWA Resource Option (enable the AD account first).
Besides, it is recommended to use one delegate for a mailbox. For more, see “Outlook meeting requests: Essential do’s and don’ts” at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/outlook-meeting-requests-essential-dos-and-donts-HA001127678.aspx.
