If you're using OL2000 (or later) all you need to do is create a profile that uses the Conference Room Mailbox, log in as the account that is the owner of that mailbox (I assume Exchange 5.5?), start Outlook with that Conference Room profile, go to Tools | Options | Calendar Options and you should find a "Resource Scheduling" button (if I recall correctly). Click it and you'll get a dialog box with options to automatically accept meetings, decline conflicting meetings, etc.
You'll also need to go to the Calendar folder and give the users you want to be able to schedule the conference room permissions to the folder - they need to be able to add, edit and delete at least their own items (they don't need to be able to view the folder). When you're done, close Outlook and you should never need to log in or set any delegates for conference room scheduling again. You don't need to keep any workstations running or logged in just to accept meeting requests - the server will handle all of it. I'm typing this from memory, so I may have missed a step or something there, but that's basically what you need to do and it should be fairly easy for you. Aloha, -Ben- Ben M.
