Meeting room is declining "recurring" meetings that are not recurring in Outlook 2010 w/ Exchange 2003.
Hi there,
We have several meeting rooms set up in Exchange 2003, and I have a few reports from users that they cannot book meetings in one of them. It declines the meeting because it is recurring, despite the fact that the meetings are in fact single events.
I can book meetings in this room without issue on my PC, leading me to believe that this is an issue with the client. We're all using Outlook 2010.
Can anyone help me to figure out what's going on here and how I can solve it? I've attempted to refresh the free/busy info for that meeting room, but that doesn't seem to have helped. Thanks!

I have logged in as this user from my machine, and was able to book a meeting in the affected meeting room.
Permissions on the meeting room are as follows:

The error message is as follows:
"Central Meeting Room" declined your meeting because it is recurring. You must book each meeting separately with this resource.
Attaching the screen shot check whether second option is selected at user end. Uncheck it
and select the first option test it again
If outlook 2003 it will be in tools>options>Calendar>res

compare it with your desktop outlook settings
Paste the screen shot of your machine settings and user machine settings as shown above. I will tell you what to change, if you are unable to understand it

Both my PC and the user's PC settings are identical. No boxes are checked in that window.
Uninstall Outlook and install it again and test it
ASKER
Yeah I guess I could give that a shot, but the fact that this is happening on multiple PCs (three, to be precise) doesn't enter into this?
ASKER
Anyone else have anything else to suggest? Reinstalling Outlook did not correct the problem.
If a recurring meeting request does not contain an end date or contains an end date beyond the specified booking window, by default Auto Accept Agent declines the request.
If you set the EnforceRecurringMeetingEnd
>> check the settings @ AutoAccept.Config.Xml
>> check if this is declining all the meeting-requests? one or two instance meeting too?

The meeting is not recurring, though... It is a single event.

Open the "Resource mailbox" in OWA

We're still in Exchange 2003...
Automatically accept requests is ticked.
Automatically accept requests is ticked.
can you unselect this "Automatically accept requests" and see the behaviour?
BTW, these resources are configured for "Outlook as booking agent" or for AAA?
