Auto Accept - Client Side Rule?

[Kathy]

I swear I saw documentation somewhere that the
auto-accept meeting function was a client-side
only rule. (Resources are not, but is it for just an
everyday user.) Does anyone know where I could find this
on knowledge base? I have tried every different search
combinations I could think of.
Thank you!

yeah, there used to be a posting regarding client side rules but it was stupid. Meaning, if you have a conference room and you wanted to have it auto accept, you need to created a profile on the server or workstation and recreat a client side rule. To make it continuelly work, you needed to have the client open and running....

Resources works, but it wouldn't show you the shedule. You had to book something and hope it was free at the time of scheduling. It would tell you, it reserved or not, but you couldn't see before hand. My information is dated. I am trying to find out how they do this in 2003 right now.

if you're talking about having a resource and being able
to see the schedule of that resource, you can create a
mailbox for that resource, then in outlook, configure it
to auto-accept and process all meeting requests. if you
give your users permission to view the calendar, they
will then be able to see if it's booked or not. if you
are running any rules for the resources, as long as you
are using office 2000 and above, those sit on the server
and you can close the client profile whenever.
