Two conference rooms and Ooutlook98

[James Joseph]

I had one conference room as a resource and everybody in my office used to
book the conference room using their outlook (98). Now I have another
conference room. How do I start another session of outlook on the PC that
should run the Outlook for the next conference room ?

Thanks

From the HELP in OL2000

In order to schedule a resource, the resource must have its own mailbox on
your server. An individual in the organization sets up and administers the
mailbox. Aside from that, the resource is self-sufficient, accepting and
rejecting invitations automatically. When you want to schedule the resource,
you can invite it to a meeting. The invitation is accepted if the resource
is free, and the meeting is automatically entered in the resource's
calendar.

My best guess is that it works much the same in OL9x. I have 3 meeting rooms
set uo with their own mailboxes in it runs like a charm!

Good luck!

I am using outlook 98. There is one PC that is always running with outlook
loaded and this out look has the mail box is the first conference room. I
created another mailbox for the next conference room and I opened that
mailbox also in the same outlook session that of the other conference room,
but the second conference room mail box doesnot respond to any request.
Should I open the second conferenceroom mailbox on another session of
outlook, if so how ? or It should be done on another PC ?

Thanks

James,

This is the reply I sent to someone who e-mailed me directly and I think it
answers all your questions.

Here's how it works.
* Create a mailbox (and NT account) for each of your meeting rooms, say Room
1 & Room 2.
* Log in as Room 1, select Tools, Options, Calendar, Resource Scheduling,
tick all options. Ok that.
* Bring up the folder list and set default permission for the Calendar to
Editor, then Exit & log off.
* Repeat for Room 2.
Notes:
*No conflict with licensing as only concurrently logged on users are
counted. These are not users and are never logged on.
* When you want to book a meeting room, open a meeting request, then click
to TO button. You will have your address list on the left and 3 boxes on the
right: Required, Optional, Resources. To book a room, invite the room as a
resource. The mailbox will automatically accept & decline.

Cheers,

Kiki

I don't know the full scope of the conversation about this subject, but if
you want to be able to schedule conference rooms in Outlook (have to be
running Exchange server), there is a REALLY slick script called AutoAccept.
found it as a link from Sue Mosher's web page:
http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.htm .
The actual link is:
http://www.exchangecode.com/

Used it in our small/mid-sized company that doesn't ahve any programming
staff, and it works great. Allowed us to NOT have to have a PC dedicated to
having an account open for accepting/declining meeting requests.
