Creating Resources For Outlook -> Do I need to make an AD Account?

[XxLicherxX]

Hello everyone,

I want to create two resources as conference rooms. According to
information I see on the internet, I need to create an Active Directory
Account and an Exchange Mailbox for each resource. Is there another way
of doing it?

I don't want to have logins and email addresses for "conference room 1"
"conference room 2" etc. This seems wasteful and overkill, considering
the SBS 50 account limit. I also see potential for security issues.

Thanks
