Resource Room Scheudling - Policy
I'm unclear as to exactly which forum to post this in so if it is in the wrong one please feel free to move it or ask me to move it and I'll repost. Thank you.I'm trying to setup a exchange 2007 room scheudling and I'm having difficulty getting it to accept/reject as I want to. I found a good tutoiral(http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/05/14/438944.aspx) on setting up the basics but not how to granularly define policy.The room is setup and is currentlyaccepting requests but I don't understand how to setup policy properly. Below is the logic I want the room scheudling to follow if possible.* If meeting is from group 'Room Scheudlers' then always accept regardless of conflicts or anything else.* If meeting isinside business hoursand not from 'Room Scheudlers' then accept tenativly and send the email to 'Room Scheudlers' asking them to approve.* If meeting isoutside business hours and not from 'Room Scheudlers'and no conflicts exist thenapprove meeting.* If meeting organzier is not part of our domain(or a trusted one) then deny the meeting.I am also wondering howdefine business hours per room.I appologize if there is a guide/FAQ on this subject already - I simply havn't found one that covers what I need yet.Thank you in advance,

Hi-
You can configure working hours if you just login to the mailbox with OWA (or Outlook) and make the changes under Calendar Options. With regard to your scheduling preferences (in order):
--> There is no way that I know of to override conflicts without a delegate fixing that. You would put Room Schedulers in the third box under Rsource Scheduling Permissons ("These users can schedule automatically if the resource is available and can submit a request for manual approval if the resource is unavailable")
--> Select Everyone for the second option ("These users can submit a request for manual approval if the resource is available")
--> There is no way to chang the policy based on business hours that I know of
--> I also don't know how to do this although you might be able to write a Rule in the mailbox to do itActive Directory, 4th Edition - www.briandesmond.com/ad4/

Thank you, I'm working on making this fit our needs and while it doesn't do it exactly it's much closer than it was before!
