Automatically Accept Meeting Request for Resources

M

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I've taken over administration of a site and just made some changes that are producing strange results. Environment is Exchange 5.5 Server (I think, managed by 3rd party could now be Exchange 2000 but I don't think so?) and Outlook 2002 SP2. I have some notes that they added Schedule Plus when they did the XP builds last summer but I don't know why they would have put that on with Outlook 2002.

This is the change I have made. I followed MS KB Article 291617 to give a distribution list of the users here "Author" permissions to a number of resources like boardrooms and projectors. I then set those resources to "Automatically accept meeting requests and cancellations" and "Automatically decline conflicting meeting requests".

I have 2 known problems:
1. Since then, some meetings seem to have disappeared and I'm not sure why. Possibly because the users invited the resource as a required or optional instead of a resource? I know for sure that 2 recurring meetings have disappeared from one meeting room ("Automatically decline recurring meeting requests" is not set on that resource) but I don't know if I have lost any others. I'm looking for a way to verify and get them back??
Looked for meeting invites in the Inbox of the resource to accept but they are not there.

2. A meeting request was sent out to 3 users and the boardroom was invited as a resource. A fourth user that wasn't invited to the meeting received the invite and accepted. A 5th user received notification about the meeting and that the 4th user had accepted. This individual was also not invited. Really not sure what's going on here, but I'm guessing that it has to do with Schedule+ and the boardroom settings. I can't find anything in Outlook 2002 against the boardroom mailbox like delegates, etc.

Any and all suggestions would be welcomed.
