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.

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.

(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?
