Room Finder

[Steven]

How do you get your rooms to show up in the room finder in Outlook 2010? Do
I have to load exchange 2010 as well?

yes, I think you will find that rooms are resources and need an Exchange
Mailbox to work.

I have Outlook 2010 running against Exchange 2010. I have my conferenc
rooms as Room mailboxes. They do not show up in the Available Room
automatically.

The only way to get them to show up is to add them like you woul
people to the invite. Then they show up and then you can select whic
room to use based upon the best time for the meeting for all attendees.
Very disappointed since I too was thinking it would just populate room
in that box.

If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Thanks

A bit more research and if you create a distribution list with the room
in them, then a new field appears in the room finder of Outlook. A dro
down where you can select the dist list and that is supposed to populat
the Rooms Avaialble box.

So, if you have multiple buildings you can easily select the rooms in
building to view
