Does the "Room Finder" tool work for this kind of account?
Yes, the Outlook 2010 Room Finder feature works the same as previously.
My attendees have not received the meeting request. Why?
Not all rooms are configured for automated booking. Rooms that are NOT configured for automatic booking must be manually reviewed by the Moderator before the request goes to attendees.
What about equipment such as vehicles or projectors? Does the process change?
No. Automated resource accounts can also be created for equipment. You will select equipment the same way you add an individual. If you have problems finding equipment, search the Global Address List.
