How do we allow setting number of conflicts on a room mailbox?

Question

It appears that we can allow conflicting meetings on a room mailbox but can't set the number of allowed conflicts. Is this a bug or intended? Can we request this feature? Do you have a script to create a custom command for this?

We are on version 3.14.19723.0

Thanks, Mark

Hello Mark,

Is this a bug or intended?

This behavior is by design.

Can we request this feature?

We forwarded the request to the corresponding department for consideration.

Do you have a script to create a custom command for this?

You can use the below script. In the script:

• $exchangeServer – Specifies the host name of the Exchange server.
• $numberOfConflicts – Specifies the number of allowed conflicts to set.

$exchangeServer = "exchangeServer.domain.com" # TODO: modify me
$numberOfConflicts = 3  # TODO: modify me

try
{
    # Connect to Exchange server
    $session = New-PSSession -connectionURI "http://$exchangeServer/powershell" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange
    Import-PSSession -session $session -CommandName "Set-CalendarProcessing"

    # Change mailbox type
    Set-CalendarProcessing "%distinguishedName%" -MaximumConflictInstances $numberOfConflicts
}
finally
{
    # Close the remote session and release resources
    if ($session) { Remove-PSSession -Session $session}
}
