Yeah, I've got some unperceptive users. &nbsp;They even get an email notification from the Auto-Accept Agent that tells them the resource booking was declined, and they still ignore it and get upset when they discover the room is booked by someone else. &nbsp;Just wondering if there was a fool proof way to prevent them from booking the meeting without the resource.

Unfortunatley there is nothing you can do for them.<br />
<br />
In OUtlook 2010, and Exchange 2010, they did introduce something called a room finder.<br />
This would allow the user to see the resources availability as the appointment is being booked<br />
<br />
<br />
However, even with this new advancement, its still not going to work if users ignore the feature.<br />
<br />
Really sounds as if the users need some basic to intermediate Outlook Training

Is there a way to prevent a user from sending out an Outlook meeting request if the resource that was added to the request has been declined by Exchange as being unavailable?<br />
<br />
The only solution I have seen is by sending two separate meeting requests, first to the resource to see if it's available and then second to the attendees if the resource is available.
