I've setup this scenario for testing and it works better for us than the PF approach. With the PF (at least in Exch 5.5), you cannot review the resource's availability without going directly to the PF. If the resource is a mailbox, it's calendar can be displayed in the appointment as an attendee. This also makes searching for an open meeting room easier if you can add multiple meeting rooms to the appointment to see which is open. -----Original Message----- From: Ohl, Julie [mailto:J.OHL@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 9:34 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Resource usage in exchange http://www.MSExchange.org/ We have it set up with each room having a mailbox, and all users have Author Permission to the room (Default=Author), also to allow for Direct Booking, set the Resource Scheduling to Automatically Accept Meetings and Decline Conflicts. The room appears in the GAL so the user can select it and click the Resource button to add it to the meeting as a Resource. We have 39 rooms set up this way. -----Original Message----- From: Fereydoon Tahmooressi [mailto:fereydoon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 9:17 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Resource usage in exchange http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Abbas, I am interested in setting up our conference room in our public folder for scheduling.

I need to have a boardroom as a resource in exchange. What I mean is this. I want people to have access to the boardroom they should be able to see the boardroom as a resource in the address list and book it from there. Does anyone know how to do that, it could be achieved easily with lotus notes, but I don't know how far with exchange.
