How to automatically accept meeting request? (Exchange end)
Environment: Outlook2007+Exchange 2007
I know in OL2007 we can use tools->option->calendar option->resource scheduling->processing meeting request.
But, can we configure it in Exchange side?
(To be mentioned, the mailbox which accept the meeting request are not "Room Mailbox")
Thank you!

Hello Tony,
For room/resource mailbox you can set it with below command.
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings RoomMailbox -AutomateProcessing:AutoAccept
But if it user mailbox then you can not.
However you can try this intotest env.first to find the pros & cons, convert user mailbox to room and set automateprocessing and convert it back to room to user mailbox which keeps the calendar processing settings AutoAccept. You need to run this from Exchange Server.
Set-Mailbox User -Type Room
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings User -AutomateProcessing:AutoAccept
Set-Mailbox User -Type Regular

i too have a similar issue and tried your solution, Amit. It seems to work very well. However, I cannot force calendar appointments if there is a conflict. Do you know how I might make that happen?
