Hello

I am running Exchange 2007 sp2, all users are running Outlook 2007 sp2, and
we are using Autoaccept for all resource mailboxes, (we are not using direct
booking) We are noticing that some users have "author permissions" on some
of the resource mailbox calendars and they have the resource mailboxes
calendar open in outlook, they will then create a meeting directly in the
resource calendar instead of adding the resource as a room in a meeting
request. When this happens the user that booked the meeting will not get a
denied message from the resource mailbox when the there is a conflict. It
appears the users are circumventing the autoaccept features of the resource
mailbox, when they have permissions on the calendar and are directly
booking meetings instead of adding the mailbox as a resource. Does this
sound correct?

Yes, that sounds correct. You can remove those users' full mailbox rights,
but, really, this falls under the umbrella of my autosignature below.
