Configure Meeting Room Space
Schemax Calendar can display the capacity of a meeting room resource if it has has
been configured in Exchange Server.
Exchange 2007
In Exchange 2007 meeting rooms have been given their own mailbox type and Exchange
administrators can
configure meeting room mailbox properties and set the ResourceCapacity
attribute. No configuration is needed on the user's computer when Exchange 2007
is the server. Schemax Calendars can display meeting room capacity in Outlook 2003
or 2007.
Exchange 2003
Exchange 2003 does not have distinct mailbox types for meeting rooms; however, each
mailbox has custom attributes
that can be configured by Exchange administrators. For Schemax Calendar to work
with custom attributes in Exchange 2003, administrators need to populate two custom
attributes. One is to designate the mailbox a meeting room and the other is to designate
the capacity of the meeting room. The first attribute must be set to "ConferenceRoomMailbox"
and the second must be a positive integer that specifies the capacity.
The Exchange 2003 custom attributes are named extensionAttribute1, extensionAttribute2,
extensionAttribute3 etc. It doesn't matter which ones are used to designate the
mailbox type and capacity as long as they are consistent and the attributes are
mapped in a client-side configuration file. This file is named "calendar.config"
and is located at "C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Schemax Design\Schemax Calendar\config\calendar.config" where
<user name> is the name of the user profile.
The field attributes for the two elements
msExchRecipientDisplayType and msExchResourceCapacity
must be populated with the names of the two custom attributes set on the server.
For example:
.
.
.
<exchange>
<retrievalmethod name="RDO" />
<msExchRecipientDisplayType field="extensionAttribute1" />
<msExchResourceCapacity field="extensionAttribute2" />
</exchange>
