AutoAccept Agent for E2k7?   

I was wondering how E2k7 deals with booked conference rooms in terms of when 
the meeting organizer cancels the meeting.  From what I can tell, the meeting 
cancellation does not remove the conference room booking on the "Room 
Mailbox".   As a result, the conference room stays booked.

 In Exchange 2003, we had to install and configure the AutoAccept agent to 
accomplish this.  Does anyone know how to deal with this in Exchange 2007?

Exchange 2007 includes the Resource Booking Attendant.
Cancelled meetings are removed automatically from the resource mailbox.

Does the resource mailbox have its AutomateProcessing property set to 
AutoAccept?
Get-MailboxCalendarSettings "My Resource Mailbox" | select 
AutomateProcessing

Thanks Bharat,

That helps, but it still doesn't seem to be working yet.  Do I need to do 
anything in the Outlook client itself under calendar options? I'm just trying 
to get it configured so that when a meeting organizer deletes the meeting on 
their own calendar, it deletes it on the ROOM Mailbox.

Re: AutoAccept Agent for E2k7?   

Hello Tim,

If a mailbox is configured as resource from Exchange perspective, no 
configuration from Outlook side is needed. Are you sure your Mailbox 
Assistants Service on the Exchange Server is running properly (as this is 
the service that is responsible for booking management).

Regs,

 Jorma
