How to Enable AutoAccept on Multiple Exchange 2007 Room Mailboxes

November 23, 2009 by Paul Cunningham 13 Comments

Here is a quick tip on using the Exchange Management Shell to enable Auto Accept on all of your Room Mailboxes with a single command in Exchange Server 2007.

This is useful when you have just created a bunch of new Room Mailboxes for a new environment and want to save time configuring the meeting processing settings.

get-mailbox | where {$_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq "RoomMailbox"} | Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept

    Hi all, I managed to get this fixed in my environment as the permission where “Free/Busy” only for the users.

    I used powershell to give myself full access to the calendar:

    add-mailboxpermission -identity “calendar” -User “my ad user” -AccessRights FullAccess

    Closed and reopened Outlook and opened the calendar – ‘rightclick’ and properties – permissions add OU or change the “default” user to Reviewer.

    ##In Exchange 2003 I couldn’t figure out how to run “Add-mailboxfolderpermission” to specifically add / change users to the calendar ONLY so I just created myself my own temp Exchange account

    Two ways to fix this

    1st way – Create an OU in AD – Add users to the OU
    Assign the OU as “reviewer permissions” to the calendar

    2nd way – Change the “Default” user permissions to Reviewer.

    I hope that this is able to just help at least 1 person…

    Hi Shahan, that is correct. I’ve updated the post to highlight that this works for Exchange 2007.
