Scheduling Conference room

[Jasper Recto]

We have 3 conference rooms that we would like to start scheduling the usage.

How would we go about this in Outlook 2000 and 2003? We are also on
Exchange 2007.

We would like the ability for a user to create a calendar item and when they
are selecting the invitee list, they can pick the appropriate conference
room and see its availability.

Is this possible in Outlook?

Thanks,
Jasper

Create it as a resource room in exchange 2007 - it will be in the GAL as a
room and when they select it, it will go right into the resource field.

is there a way to convert older user mailboxes into room resources, so that
existing calender info isnt "thrown" out, via the creation of new boxes which
are room resources?

(Exchange 2007)..

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

you need to use the management shell to convert mailboxes to resources.
AFAIK, it just removes the user account from the mailbox and all contents
are left alone.

Thanks for this.. one question.. with our standard user resource.. if you
goto shared calendars in outlook, you can bring up the calendar for that
resource..

For the Room type non user one.. it tells me the calendar doesnt exist..

Is there something more i must do to make this functionality work?

Thanks,

Mark
