wjc3: &nbsp;The Answer you have provided only works for user calendars, NOT Public folders.<br />

You can set up a user account as a meeting room, then log on as the room and then provide appropriate permissions to other users, and then follow wjc's directions to make the calendar auto update. &nbsp;All my meeting rooms and conference equipment are set up this way, and it works pretty well. &nbsp;However this does not work for public folders since there is not a user account.<br />
<br />
I have been searching for a solution to force &quot;Public Folder&quot; Calendars to auto accept and decline. &nbsp;If you find an answer please let me know.
