MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006Have you created a resource (i.e. conference room) in outlook?
Rather than searching calendar's in a public folder, I want my IT Department to create our conference rooms as accounts that can be included in a meeting request. This will allow a Busy Search to be completed so that the availability of this "resource" can be determined when scheduling a meeting. I came from an environment where this was done with GroupWise. Can this be replicated in Outlook? Yes, Outlook does it with Exchange mailboxes.

My IT guy has looked at the source you provided, but has the following unresolved issues and that's why we haven't implemented it, do you have a workaround that will help? That calendar would be a private calendar, and I believe not universally viewable, like a Public Folder, though it would have the Free/Busy time available when sending out Meeting Requests. Conversely, you can have mail-enabled Public Folders, but not the integrated suite of folders, including a calendar, which a private mailbox has. If anyone knows different than this, let me know. With this caveat, it becomes simply a question of which set of features are most important to the main users. > Yes, Outlook does it with Exchange mailboxes.

You can set permissions on mailbox folders, just as you can public folders. As the article says, for a resource that you want people to be able to book directly, you'd grant them the Author role on the mailbox Calendar folder.
