    We are using equipment room resources in Exchange 2010 for shared team calendars in order to utilize the Booking Attendant AutoAccept feature.  When doing recurring meetings we are constantly getting back the following message.

    This instance was declined because there are conflicts.

    We have these settings in place, see below, we used the get-calendarprocessing cmdlet.

    Hi dfunk12,

    Please set the AllowConflicts as false, and then make a test.

    Regards!

    Am I reading this correctly that your meetings are not allowed to be longer than 0 minutes? If so that could be a problem.

    MaximumDurationInMinutes            : 0

    Old thread with no answer...

    I am having this issue that seems to have started with 2010 SP2.To Gavin, what is the purpose of your test? Are you saying that AllowConflicts = false really means true? Or that turning it off, then on again will fix an underlying bug?

    For reference, MaximumDurationInMinutes = 0 means unlimited duration. So that's NOT it.

    Any answer out there?

    edit: I set AllowConflicts to false, tested it and it acted as expected. I reset it to true and it acts exactly the same. The test was a meeting for the 1st of every month. The conflict was a user who takes Monday's off. So every Monday that's the first was declined.

    This instance was declined because there are conflicts.

     

    The conflicts are:
