Room and Equipment handling using MS-Exchange Resource Mailboxes: What the parameter AddNewRequestsTentatively means

2011/08/22 1 comment
  1. It is an instruction to the calendarattendant, that seems to be conjured up by automateprocessing: autoupdate, but also, now together with, but still separate from, the resource booking assistant, by automateprocessing: autoaccept
  2. It is an instruction relating only to meeting requests, not to meetings. But it is not the calendarattendant, but rather the resource booking assistant that decides what is to remain a request and what not (= what is to be accepted or denied, and thus to stop being a mere request and be promoted to a meeting). if there are no (mere) requests (since all requests, for whatever other settings, are either auto-accepted or auto-denied, so effectively automatically rendered into non-(not anymore) requests, the AddNewRequestsTentatively will have no effect on the calendar. It is these other settings, that may allow requests to remain requests. Even though the parameter name may sound like it is doing this, it is NOT AddNewRequestsTentatively that will turn off/override these other settings to make all incoming requests remain requests. It is rather automateprocessing: autoupdate (or a combination of automateprocessing: autoaccept and allbookinpolicy: $false and Allrequestinpolicy: $true (and even more so AllRequestOutOfPolicy: $true) that would do that.
  3. However, the latter is the combination if have for pseudo-rooms where it is important that the delegate can collate requests in a calendar-format when deciding which to accept/deny, instead of having to cobble together a picture from forwarded meeting request messages.
  4. Organizer can make a request (out of policy: maxduration), and it appears on the organizers calendaroutlook test AddNewRequestsTentatively true automateprocessing not autoupdate maxduration outfofpolicy lrc calendar this looks tentative_thumb[1]
  5. It appears on the room calendar for the delegate as tentative owa test AddNewRequestsTentatively true automateprocessing not autoupdate maxduration outfofpolicy lrc calendar this looks not tentative_thumb[1]

     

  6. It appears in the scheduling assistant as tentative, for others to seeowa test AddNewRequestsTentatively true scheduling assistant _thumb[1]
