Dont understand you here.
Rooms and resources in Exchange are booked by sending a meeting invitation. Invitation can be created by outlook or an application that uses EWS (Exchange Web Service) or any other Exchange supported API.
You will find documentation and examples in Exchange SDK. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa562613.aspx
Also the new Managed webservice API is very good http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd633709.aspx

Pretty simple. First you need to make those rooms to accept the meeting and decline any conflict meetings. You need to run the below command. Get-MailboxCalendarSettings Resource1 |fl AutomateProcessing : AutoUpdate Set-MailboxCalendarSettings Resource1 -AutomateProcessing:Autoaccept Then using outlook follow the instructions given by Lasse

Thanks for the reply.we already create the rooms with the autoaccept option, the real problem is how can I send over a thousand meetingsby using, per example, a CSV file. This is because the room are prepopulated with students meetings every year.thanks in advancedwww.flashlight.cl

Hi Christian,
I do not think that we have a method to send thousand meetings by using a CSV file. Nevertheless, I do think that you can import thousand meetings into Resource Mailbox Calendar folder by using a CSV file.
1. Outlook->File->Import and Export->Export to a file->Comma Separated Values (Windows)->Select Calendar folder
2. After getting a CSV file, please creating Calendar items according to the format.
3. Then, logon the Resource Mailbox by using Outlook and import the CSV file.

Sorry MikeThe last Answer was the same method that I used tosolve temporarly the problem (using ICS), but I do prefer a more simple method. I can't imagine updating100 rooms just adding them to my Outlook Profile and importing the info :(Thanks again, for now my question is answered :)
