Changing the working hours on a room mailbox in Outlook/Exchange

Question

I setup a Room resource recipient in Exchange so that users could book the associated conference room. This part works, but when I attempt to view the room's schedule in Scheduling Assistant, the room shows as Out of Office for regular working hours.

I've tried searching for a solution to this problem and found this other question, but the room does not appear in Recipient Mailboxes, but Recipient Resources and therefore has different settings than those described. I have not found any way to configure working hours for the room in the resource settings, either. How can I either align the Out of Office hours for the room with the rest of the team, or else remove them entirely?

Hi，@Adele Vance

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

By default, working hours of resource mailboxes are 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.

You can refer to this command to check the working hours of this resource mailbox:

get-MailboxCalendarConfiguration -Identity <PrimartySMTPofRoomResource>

If the working hours for this mailbox is incorrect, you can run the following command to change the time:

Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration -Identity <PrimartySMTPofRoomResource>

-WorkingHoursStartTime 09:00:00 -WorkingHoursEndTime 18:00:00

If my answer is helpful to you, please mark it as the answer so that other users can refer to it. Thank you for your support and understanding.
