Resource Management
• Set up policies once • Limit who can book via booking roles • Enforce maximum meeting duration • Allow conflicts for recurring meetings • Schedule only during working hours (set by Outlook 2007/ OWA) • Forward out-of-policy requests to delegates for approval
Automated Meeting Request Handling
• Server processes meetings intelligently • Auto-update existing meetings with new information to reduce redundant meeting notices • Mark out-of-date meeting updates so they can not be accepted, reducing clutter and errors • Reduces Errors from schedule updates
Meeting Request Handling

Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007: Sophisticated yet Simple “At the end of the day, I need to just have things work, and work well. I need the system to comply to the requirements of my organization and still run effectively.”
Security
