Hello all,
I know that there is a feature to auto-accept your calendar invites - but I
want to see if there is a better way - or ensure that what we are trying to
achieve that this feature will work for us.
Insight: All of our conference rooms are set up in active directory as
users. Our current situation has the reception - looking at all the
conference rooms to ensure there is no conflicts - as some people still do
not check availability.
What we would like to do is free up this task for the receptionist. In an
ideal world wwe would like to see:
My ideal situation would be the following:
1. Firm Member plans a meeting and includes a conference room as an invitee.
2a. The conference room is free and sends an auto accept.
OR
2b. The conference room is full and a decline is sent out with an auto
message saying "There is a conflict in this room, please contact the Service
Center if you need help rescheduling" Or something to that affect.
Please let me know if this is possible - or you have a better solution.
THanks.
D.

The following articles explain in detail how to configure the resource
and how to book it correctly.

However, If you use Exchange Server I would suggest the use
of the AutoAccept Agent. We use this with great success.
