Reserving a room that has a Room Mailbox

Overview

This guide will show an example of the process of reserving a room which has a room mailbox setup.  These Room mailboxes usually have 1 or 2 people who are the delegates for the account and have the ability to approve your request.

Steps

First, you go to your Calendar view in Outlook client.

Next put a description and subject for your requested meeting, and also if there will be anyone else attending that you would like to invite to the Meeting, and then send your meeting request.

Shortly after sending, you should receive an automatic response saying that it's been tentatively accepted by the Room mailbox.

You can check on the event in your calendar and it should show the details that 1 recipient has tentatively accepted.
