Subject and body not showing up for Outlook/Exchange Resource Rooms

I have setup several resource rooms in Exchange 2010 so that users can reserve conference rooms. When a user creates an item on their calendar and adds the resource rooms, everything works great. However, when they go to view the resource room calendar using the calendar tab on the left side of Outlook, the subject and body does not appear on the events listed for the resource room. I am not sure why that information is not being sent. Users do want to be able to see the subject and body of the message when they view the resource room though. How can I configure the resource rooms so that they accept the body and subject information from when the original was created?

Thanks,

Justin

I get the error below when running this command.

command - Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $false -deletesubject $false

error - The term 'Set-CalendarProcessing' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, fu
nction, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if
 a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:23
+ Set-CalendarProcessing <<<<  -Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $fals
e -deletesubject $false
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Set-CalendarProcessing:String)
   [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

This is the correct command to get done what I need but I can't get it to work for some reason.

Thanks,

I am not sure what is wrong with my command. Any thoughts?

Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $false -deletesubject $false

Thanks,

Justin
can you paste the output from EMS when you are running the command so I can see the result
[PS] C:\Users\administrator\Desktop>command - Set-CalendarProcessing
-Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $false -deletesubject $false

Get-Command : The term '-' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,

are you running this under powershell or under the exchange EMS?  you should be running from the EMS.  the screen should be black by default not blue
I am running this command in the EMS.
are you running command - or is that just showing in the result, that should not be in there.  it should read

Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $false -deletesubject $false

the way it looks in your command is

command - Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $false -deletesubject $false
I enter this command into the EMS.

Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "TravelCalendar" -deletecomments $false -deletesubject $false

Then I get the result posted above. sorry for the confusion in my first comment.

let me see if I can find another way to go about this, I'll post back later
What is posted above sounds like it should work fine. The syntax must be wrong. Any thoughts?
"does not appear on the events listed for the resource room"
When you say events, are the bookings marked as events?
Or are they also meetings and appointments?

Can you post a screen shot so we can see whats being described?
I posted two pictures to see the problem. When I create a meeting, I typed into the subject "testing subject" and into the body "testing body." You can see that in the picture called "Example of creating meeting." In the other picture I attached, which is called "example of meeting view," you can see that in the subject, is my name instead of "testing subject" and the body is blank instead of saying "testing body."

The body and subject show up on my personal calendar but do not show up on the calendar of the resource rooms, which is what I need.

does that make sense?

Thanks,

Justin

Hrm I see

I would check that the Outlook 2003 Users have the latest SP installed
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8

I would also check that Exchange 2010 also has the latest SP/Updates
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21570
The Outlook 2003 users should be running the latest SP. We only have a couple 2010 users and I am one of them. I have confirmed mine is on SP1.

What you are seeing is correct and the way in which it is supposed/designed to work.

For example, if someone booked a meeting request with "Disciplinary Hearing" you wouldn't want everyone to be able to see that.  So the organisaers name is used as the Subject/Title of the meeting request.
I understand that is the default setting but the first post in this question looks like we can change the default setting to show the information we want. The problem is the command posted above don't work. I have not been able to figure out the correct command.

Can anyone provide the correct exchange console command to make this change?

I found an alternative way to solve the issue I was having int he link below under the "Using Outlook Web Access" section.

This is exactly what I want to do. If I want to do it using the powershell do I need to get send commands to get to outlook so that the powershell understands the commands?
It's just not working for me. I admit I'm not a great programmer and haven't done it in years
I'm substituting resesource1 for Siar Meeting and username as mc

Really just need to know how to type this in correctly
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity:Resource1 -AccessRights:fullaccess -User:user1
and then I can do the rest from OWA
