I agree. I've installed and used Auto Accept Agent, and it is flaky. Sometimes you can register a resource, sometimes not. And doing the registration requires you to enter cryptic commands at a command prompt, and interpret even more cryptic responses from the event sink. When it doesn't work, sometimes even deleting the resource mailbox and adding it back with a different name doesn't work.
But, I only have maybe a half-dozen resources to maintain at most. And, it's free. Ed, thanks for the tip about ERM. You can apparently get licenses in groups of 5 for $55 each. I'll be looking into this more seriously next time one of our Directors can't get their conference room scheduled. (And nope, Directors don't get secretaries to do this for them - only the Executive Director has an admin asst.
