Room Conflict for Single Occurence of Recurring Meeting

[AEB123]

I often have trouble scheduling a recurring meeting because the room I want
to use may be booked for one of the occurences. I get the message "4w-104 is
already booked for the specified time. You must use another time or find
another resource." Then I have to cancel out of the meeting request, try to
figure out which occurence is in conflict, and set up multiple meetings
instead of one.

It would be better if Outlook gave me better information about which
occurence is in conflict, and even better if Outlook popped up a dialog where
I could choose an alternate room for that occurence.

This happens very often and is very frustrating and also a big waste of time.

Hi AEB123,

I am in the exact position with this, running Exchange 2003 and Outlook
2003/2007. Have you had any luck in resolving this? or other solutions?
