How to Set Resource Booking Policies

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to set resource booking policies.

Note

You cannot use the Exchange Management Console to set resource booking policies.

A resource booking policy specifies:

  • Who can schedule a resource

  • When the resource can be scheduled

  • What meeting information will be visible on the resource's calendar

  • The response message that meeting organizers will receive

Before You Begin

To run the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Procedure

To use the Exchange Management Shell to set resource booking policies

  • To set a resource booking policy, run the following command:

    Set-MailboxCalendarSettings
    
  • To control who can schedule a resource, use the following parameters with the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings command:

    • AllBookInPolicy

    • AllRequestInPolicy

    • AllRequestOutOfPolicy

    • BookInPolicy

    • RequestInPolicy

    • RequestOutOfPolicy

    • ForwardRequestsToDelegates

    • TentativePendingApproval

    • ResourceDelegates

    Note

    When AllRequestInPolicy and AllRequestOutOfPolicy are both set to True, only out of policy requests are forwarded to delegates. Microsoft Exchange automatically accepts in-policy requests, and does not forward the policy requests to a delegate.

  • To control when a resource can be scheduled, use the following parameters together with the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings command:

    • AllowConflicts

    • BookingWindowInDays

    • EnforceSchedulingHorizon

    • MaximumDurationInMinutes

    • AllowRecurringMeetings

    • ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkingHours

    • ConflictPercentageAllowed

    • MaximumConflictInstances

  • To control what meeting information will be visible on the resource's calendar, use the following parameters together with the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings command:

    • DeleteAttachments

    • DeleteComments

    • RemovePrivateProperty

    • DeleteSubject

    • DisableReminders

    • AddOrganizerToSubject

    • DeleteNonCalendarItems

    • OrganizerInfo

  • To customize the response message that meeting organizers will receive, use the following parameters together with the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings command:

    • AddAdditionalResponse
