Exchange 2007 - Mailbox Rooms (Admin question)

[Saga]

On my 2007 Exchange server I have two mailbox rooms created for meeting rooms. Both rooms appear to be configured properly, and the following command -

get-mailboxcalendarsettings -identity XXXXX | fl

Allowconflicts is FALSE.

However, if you schedule a meeting and invite the room it will auto-accept, and instead of showing "Busy" like it should in the scheduling assistant, it's showing "Tentative", and additionally allowing more than one person to book it's block during this time which it should NOT do.

I'm going out on a limb and assuming that the "Tentative" is the reason it's allowing multiple users to book the time, but this only began happening with the most recent rollup and I haven't been able to find a solution to this with the usual channels of troubleshooting.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Just a shot in the dark, are you scheduling the rooms as a resource?

 

[Saga]

From my understanding, a room mailbox is automatically generated as IsResource with the default inherited shares.

We run exchange 2003 at work, and to book a room you make a meeting in your calander, open it up, add those who should be there as either required or tentive or something and then you add the meeting room as a resource.

Dont know if it has changed with 2007... will know later this year when we finaly upgrade

You can set all the room mailbox resource settings within OWA for each room mailbox account under Options > Resource Settings.
