Set-CalendarProcessing –Identity ConfRoomA –AutomateProcessing AutoAccept For example, to configure Conference Room A such that the Resource Booking Attendant is enabled, the following command will be used: To enable the Resource Booking Attendant using the Exchange Management Shell, use the Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlet and specify a value of AutoAccept for the AutomateProcessing parameter. These resource booking settings are those found on the Resource In-Policy Requests, Resource Out-of-Policy Requests and Resource Policy tabs as we shall see later in this article.įigure 18: Enabling the Resource Booking Attendant Note that the highlighted area in Figure 18 also includes the text that explains that the resource booking settings are only effective when the Enable the Resource Booking Attendant check box has been selected. With that in mind, let’s now enable the Resource Booking Attendant for a room resource mailbox and automate the conference room bookings this is performed on the Resource General tab of the resource mailbox properties. That’s where the Resource Booking Attendant comes in. For example, what if you desired a configuration where senior management could always automatically book a meeting room without requiring the approval via a delegate? However, Exchange also offers the ability to automate some of the resource booking process. Having human intervention is obviously fine if you have delegates that are willing and able to perform all of the required work associated with resource mailboxes. This is controlled by the Resource Booking Attendant and that’s what we’ll start covering here in part three.

We finished part two of this series by looking at configuring delegates to manually control the booking of resource mailboxes.
