How to Set Resource Booking Policies
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3
This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to set resource booking policies.
Note
You cannot use the Exchange Management Console to set resource booking policies.
A resource booking policy specifies:
Who can schedule a resource
When the resource can be scheduled
What meeting information will be visible on the resource's calendar
The response message that meeting organizers will receive
Before You Begin
To run the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
- Exchange Organization Administrator role
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
Procedure
To use the Exchange Management Shell to set resource booking policies
To set a resource booking policy, run the following command:

To control who can schedule a resource, use the following parameters with the Set-MailboxCalendarSettings command:
