Every once in a while I've had to open up the conference room mail box with
the /cleanfreebusy switch. It usually cures similar problems. On one very
rare occasion, I had to completely remove and reinstall the Autoaccept
script-- I forget the details on why, though. It might have been around the
time I switched servers and I didn't add the perms to the event service
folder.

Subject: RE: auto booking conf. rooms w/ Outlook 2000 & permissions
Since we are on the topic of the auto accept script, has anyone see this
issue while using the script.
We have one room, out of 50, that when a client booking the room opens the
calendar using file, open other user's, sees the meetings that have been
booked. But when the calendar is opened on the server, the same location we
used to configure the auto accept script for this room, we see only a few of
the meetings that have been booked for the room. What then happens is a
client will book the room and the meeting will be accepted and will never
appear on the calendar on the server, so another client books the room for
the same time as the first client, and they are both accepted. Because the
free/busy isn't updated for 15 minutes, there could be clients seeing that
the room is open when it really isn't and book the room and the meeting gets
accepted anyway.
I just want to know if anyone else has seen this problem. Is anyone else
out there that has 4500 clients in one site, multiple servers with at least
50 conference rooms set up to use auto accept? If anyone has sound advice
to fix this or a workaround until we can get it fixed, it would be greatly
appreciated. TIA

I don't know why you would want to do without it... it's easy enough to
configure, it has the patented Ronco "Set it and forget it!" feature set,
and achieves the functionality that you want. I've been running it for a
couple of years here, with very few problems. Many others on the list (with
a couple of exceptions) are doing the same thing. It really is the simplest
way to accomplish what you are going after.

This has been a (non-)paid advertisement for the Auto Accept script!

We use the AutoAccept script at www.exchangecode.com. Works like a champ,
and allows us to set the calendar permissions for the conference rooms to
read only for users.

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!
