Ok, why not create a new group for the other users and add that one to the bookinpolicy too. Set-MailboxCalendarSettings ROOMMailbox -BookInPolicy "Group 1","Group 2" -AllRequestInPolicy $False Martina Miskovic

Hi Guys, I am having an issue with one of the resource mailboxes. I am running Exchange 2007 with outlook 2007 users. We have a Distribution List which contains over 800 people and they should be able to book that resource mailbox. So rather than adding the 800+ members separately I have added the DL to the list of people who can book that room. Now whenever someone in that DL sends a booking request the Mailbox doesn't respond if the booking is confirmed or not. It works fine for whoever not in that DL but still added to the list of approved senders. I am pretty new to exchange so please let me know if I needed to be doing something before I could have asked here. I googled and didn't get a hit on something related to mine. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Is the DL a universal group? If not, covert it to one and see if that makes a difference.

Can you also run the below command and post the output here? Get-MailboxCalendarSettings <roommailbox> | fl AutomateProcessing,*policy* Your Universal DL should be listed in "BookInpolicy". You mention approved senders and that setting in EMC/EMS will not work for meeting requests.Martina Miskovic

[PS] C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop>Get-MailboxCalendarS ettings "ROOM" | fl AutomateProcessing,*policy* AutomateProcessing : AutoAccept RequestOutOfPolicy : AllRequestOutOfPolicy : False BookInPolicy : AllBookInPolicy : True RequestInPolicy : AllRequestInPolicy : False Thanks martina for the quick reply

Hi A_D_ I am not understanding the term universal group. Does it mean is that DL open to everyone or if it's locked to only some senders. I have now added the Room mailbox to be able to send email to the the DL. Waiting for update from my client. Thanks for helping.

Universal refers to the type of group. Managing Distribution Groups

Universal refers to the type of group. Managing Distribution Groups Thanks for pointing me to it. Yes in EMC the DL 'recipient type details' say 'Mail-Enabled Universal Distribution Group'.

Hi, If you want all members of the DL to be able to book the room and nobody else, you need to make the following settings. Set-MailboxCalendarSettings ROOMMailbox -BookInPolicy <GroupName> -AllRequestInPolicy $False Set-MailboxCalendarSettings http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996340(v=exchg.80).aspx Martina Miskovic

Hi, If you want all members of the DL to be able to book the room and nobody else, you need to make the following settings. Set-CMailboxCalendarSettings ROOMMailbox -BookInPolicy <GroupName> -AllRequestInPolicy $False Martina Miskovic But apart from the user's in that DL we have few more people who can book that room. I don't want to touch the existing user's . So is there a way to change the above script a bit for my request ?

May I ask why you need to have a restriction configured? I mean...allowing 800 Users to book the room + "a few more". That makes me wonder how many that you plan to not allow to book this room.Martina Miskovic

I know ...it does sound crazy for me.. But that's what the guys want here.. and not much that I can do to change it.. appreciate your help...
