    Hi

    We have a number of resource or "Room" mailboxes setup with auto-approvals. Users can book the room and if available it will auto-accept, if unavailable it will auto decline.

    I have also setup delegates on those rooms so that when reoccurring meetings are booked and conflict with a single meeting they go to those individuals to manually approve. I'm not sure when else they will get manual approvals but that is the scenario I have found to happen.

    This all appears to work fine but...

    When those meetings are manually approved (and I can see the meeting in the calendar, "Approved by Jo Bloggs on 09/05/2013 13:42"), if scheduling another meeting for a day and time when this reoccurring meeting happens, the room scheduler does not seem to recognize that this room is busy.

    Please see attached pictures,

    The First should show the meeting scheduler showing availability of the room

    The Second should show the difference in appearance between the auto-accepted meetings and the manually approved one (white stripe down the side?)
    You can also see the approved booking between 0900 and 1800 but 2 other meetings auto-accepted which conflict.

    Has anyone come across this previously? It only seems to happen with manually approved meetings (but manually approved by the authorized delegates)

    Hi Wendy

    I recognize that command and have ran it before but this time I am getting an error, something I'm doing wrong maybe?
