Auto Accept not working

[Richard Sobey]

Dear all

I have configured Auto Accept on a test mailbox, however meeting
requests sent to the mailbox are not being automatically accepted. I
am forced to choose Accept / Reject etc.

I am using Outlook 2003 in an Exchange 2003 (mixed mode) environment.

Is there anything else I should be doing, or should it really be as
simple as checking the tick box in the Calendar options?

Thanks

Richard

Are the users remembering to invite the test mailbox as a resource? Do they have Author writes to that mailbox's Calendar folder?

Hi Sue

It was because the test mailbox wasn't being invited as a resource. In
this context, what does a resource actually mean? I had imagined the
functionality to be useful as a way for normal users to avoid
interaction with the client if they receive lots of meeting requests.

Thanks for the help.

A resource means a conference room, av equipment, etc.

Ok, great. It'd be nice for the same functionality if you want to
invite a regular user, although I suppose there is no difference in
the end result!
