How to book resources for meeting in Entourage

Is it possible to book resources for meetings in entourage? In Outlook, when creating a message, you are given 3 options for ivitees - required, optional, and resources. For my company, we need to book meeting rooms as resources and not as an invitee. I can't seem to find this equivalent ability in entourage 2008. As a sad work around, I have to either book meetings in a VM or through the web interface.

Thnx in advance.

It's not directly supported though I heard you might have some luck with
servers set to auto-accept.

Entourage does not support direct booking of resources but you can use
the Auto Accept Agent provided by Microsoft.

You will assign a mailbox to each resource and then then users add the
resources to their invitations just like users. The AAA will respond on
behalf of the resource, either accepting or declining.

You can use the free/busy schedule to check for availability.

Hope this helps!
