Make sure all users -- not just the conference rooms -- are set to publish 12 months. Direct booking means that the Outlook client that does the booking generates new free/busy data, using the settings on that client.

I did check and each user is also set to publish 12 months.

Thanks for the response Sue (have your books and am always at your website).
I had user run a GPO to get all clients on 12 month free/busy and so far so
good. I worry about them changing their settings but I figure I can lock
that down somewhere. Thanks again!

If you've done it with a GPO using a registry value in HKCU\Software\Policies, users won't be able to change it.
