Auto decline scheduling conflicts

Question

Hi

I have the following problem.

I have a resource called boardroom. What I would like is that it automatically decline meeting scheduled that has a conflicting meeting already booked.

Settings:

When I schedule the first meeting I get a accept returning mail

When I schedule the second meeting, same time I get a tentative returning mail

I want it to automatically decline the second meeting because of the conflict.

What setting am I doing wrong?

thanks

Thanks for the response.

Can you kindly share with me some information about the mailbox settings via private message I have initiated. I will check few things from my side based on your screenshot information.

Below are the steps to open private message:

• To View private messages option > click on Profile Picture at top of the right side > Select My Profile option.

Looking forward to your next update in private message for further analysis. Really appreciate your kind cooperation.

Hello Gerrie,

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist.

Based on your description, I understand you want to auto decline scheduling conflicts for a resource mailbox.

As an exchange admin, can you try turning off conflicts to the resource mailbox through exchange PowerShell module using command below as example?

*Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity *****@contoso.com -AllowConflicts $false

Reference: Set-CalendarProcessing (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn

Looking forward to your response.
