Thanks Michael--I will try changing that for her tomorrow. Now I'm wondering if it's actually just her mailbox, or if it's happening to more people. As I said before, her setting matches mine, as well as a few others I've checked. Is that the new default, or maybe something leftover from migration?

You need to set AllowConflicts to $true. And if "higher ups" are sending recurring meetings that have been declined, you may want to fiddle with "MaximumConflictInstances" and/or "ConflictPercentageAllowed".

Here is the command results from her mailbox, and all the seemingly relevant settings match up with mine. Are you saying I should change the AllowConflicts value to True? Or, is there another command I should/can run to see the values in question?

Resource Booking is a superset of Calendar processing. The Resource Booking Attendant is controlled by the value of AutomateProcessing. On a user mailbox, it is always AutoUpdate, and it cannot be changed. On a resource mailbox, it is (by default) AutoAccept. On a resource mailbox it can be set to any valid value. Without seeing the actual error, I would guess that either "AllowConflicts = $false" or "TentativePendingApproval = $false".

Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 5:05 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Exchange] Exchange user mailbox auto-declining meeting requests This is really strange and I'm not sure where to look at this point. Exchange 2013 CU6, two servers in a DAG with both roles behind Barracuda LBs. I have a user mailbox (not a shared/resource mailbox) that is automatically declining meeting requests when there is already a duplicate on her calendar. She discovered the problem when a higher up called to ask why she had declined her meeting, so I'm not sure how long it's actually been happening for, but I can reproduce the issue with her account. Her mailbox, like most others (and mine) was migrated from Exchange 2007, which was decommissioned in March. >From what I've been reading, the booking agent shouldn't even be running on a >user mailbox-is that true? I have also checked and she doesn't have any rules >that I can see that are affecting her mailbox. I also ran Get-calendarprocessing username | fl And all of her settings look exactly like mine, which does not auto-decline duplicates. Calendar options for configuring booking in Outlook are not available in her Outlook settings (users are running in online mode). She DOES have an Android phone using activesync and I'm wondering if there could be a setting in there causing this, but I'm not even sure what exactly to look for. Ideas are welcome. Thanks, Bonnie
