We're running Exch 2007 with OUtlook 2003 sp3. When scheduling recurring meetings with a conf room resource, the requestor receives a decline notice because ONE of the recurring dates falls on a holiday. We never experienced this issue when we ran Exchange 2003. Is there a way to allow Exchange to schedule the meeting even if it's on a holiday?
You could remove the holidays from the resource calendars, no? -- Ed Crowley MVP - Exchange "Protecting the world from PSTs and brick backups!"

Thanks for the very prompt response! I suppose we could do that. Is this something new with Exchange '07...declining the resource if it falls on a holiday? I don't recall it being an issue in Exchange 2003.

Exchange 2007 made numerous improvements to auto-acceptance of calendar events. Few of us ever considered previous versions to be enterprise-ready, which is why we recommend third-party add-ons instead of the standard product for this with earlier versions. It looks like Microsoft might have gotten it right this time. -- Ed Crowley MVP - Exchange "Protecting the world from PSTs and brick backups!"

Just a thought: With the Auto-Accept agent for Exchange 2003 I was able to set the agent to allow for x number of exceptions when booking for a recurrance. This would allow us to get around the Holiday issue. Is this possible with Exchange 2007? We are getting ready to move to it and this will be an issue.
