Hello Group,
I would like some verification on an outlook 2003 user's ability to
auto accept meeting invites. I am getting conflicting info. It is my
understanding that only a resource calendar can auto accept and cancel
meeting invites. Can a normal user configure outlook 2003 with an
exchange 2003 server to auto accept and cancel invites? I know that
each mailbox has the ability to configure this but it only seems like
the resource calendar works. Microsoft states that the user must have
outlook open for this to function. Also on slipstick.com's website
they provide this tip;
"TIP: Using your Exchange Server administration tool, set the mailbox
to not accept messages from anyone. (A distribution list or security
group is good for this.) That way, if users forget and add the resource
as a required or optional attendee, the request will bounce back to
them from the resource mailbox. "
The problem with this method is that the required resource email is
also kicked back and not placed on the resource calendar. If you
perform the above any meeting request sent to a required, optional or
resource is kicked back. Good tip but it dosen't work.
Since you can't have two exchange profiles for the same PC at the same
time how could I open the resource mailbox outlook 2003 profile on the
same computer that another user is using. If you add the resource
calendar's mailbox to another user's profile (i.e. open additional
mailboxes) the auto accept and cancel feature does not work. I have
yet to get a normal user to be able to auto accept invites like a
resource calendar can.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Joe
