Yes you've found the problem. We use the same set up, but try to keep our
users in the dark about the fact that they could manually edit the resource
calendar as you described. Perhaps if your users are clueier than ours, the
best solution is a little user training to advise them of best practice. I
wonder also what type of person would venture to double-book a resource, you
would assume they'd understand the problems that would cause.

Subject: auto booking conf. rooms w/ Outlook 2000 & permissions
Quick question regarding permissions and direct booking Conference
Room/Resources with Outlook 2000:
Outlook 2000 requires Author permissions on the Resource Calendar to
do direct booking. This part works great. But with Author permissions,
they can also still use File, Open Special to book a meeting on top of
another meeting - resulting in conflicts & double-bookings. Yikes! So..I
thought I'd take off the "View" permissions but then users can't at least
see the meetings are already booked in the room other than just the
free/busy.
So...how are you configured to Direct Book conf. Rooms. with Outlook
2000 without compromising permissions (and double-bookings)? Or do you
still use the notorious "Delegate" mailbox that auto accepts instead of
direct-booking?
Thanks for any ideas!
