Hello,
 
I've got a problem related to this (slightly). I've made the new
resource accounts, but none of the users can see them from outlook only
OWA. Now I've been delving around a little and have come across a
setting that looks pretty wrong to me. In outlook, the source for the
global address list is "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\" rather than an Exchange
server.
 
Does anyone know why it may have been configured like this? And how I
could change it back to the server name? As the dialogue doesn't allow
me to change this.
 
Many thanks
 
Jason Merrique

        That's the responsibility of the Recipient Update Service, so
you need to check the settings on that and you can also force an update:

        Hi Mark,
         
        Thank you for your reply,
         
        Ah, I was on the right track. I just figured that there was a
way to actually define a mailbox as a "Resource", so I was looking for
the wrong thing!
         
        I do have another question related to this. When a new
user/mailbox is created, it takes a while for the server to generate its
email address and add it to the GAL. How long should this take? And is
it possible to speed the process up? i.e. force a rebuild. Now I do
realise that doing this could take a long time with a large
organisation, but ours consists of only about 30 users.
         
        Many Thanks

                Yes, you need a mailbox and account for the resources,
here is a link that applies to Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003

                Hi Chaps,
                 
                My apologies if this has been asked before, but I don't
seem to have access to any archive search. (Where can I find this?).
                 
                We're running Windows 2003 Server Std, Exchange 2003
Std, and Office 2003.
                 
                I've been having problems finding any information at all
on how to set up Bookable Resources in Exchange 2003. Could someone
point me in the right direction? What I mean by Bookable resources is
something like a Conference Room, a Data Projector or some other
equipment. So far I've only found info about this in Exchange 5.5
articles, it appears that I will need to set up a mailbox associated
with each resource. Is there a way to set up a mailbox *without* linking
it to an Active Directory User object? Or have I got the wrong end of
the stick here?
                 
                Cheers in Advanced,
                 
                Jason Merrique
