Re: [Evolution] scheduling resources with the exchange connector

["Polcari, Joe" <joe savaje com>]

I just verified with my manager and he says that
that's all they did.
We are also using the original FC5 version
of the connector because too many things
broke when we tried moving forward.
Going back is a pain, but it can be done.
The version is 2.5.92-1.
Maybe somebody on the list knows the code
and explain it.

Hm.

So, I verified with my IT folks that auto-accept and auto-reject are set
and free/busy info are being published for our conference rooms.  I can
see
the free/busy for the conference room when I add it as an attendee.

I've tried reserving rooms with the following apps:

  * Outlook Web Access for Exchange 2003
  * Evolution 2.6.1 with Connector (Ubuntu 6.06.1)
  * Evolution 2.8.0 with Connector (Ubuntu Edgy Eft Knot 2 + updates)

To test I created a meeting (appointment in OWA) with just me, and then
added a conference room as a "Resource" to the meeting, and use "Send".

Then I re-opened the appointment and checked the availability status.

In none of the above cases was the room marked as busy.  My calendar was
marked as busy for all three.

Soooo.... I have a suspicion this doesn't work, or if it really does
there's more to it than just setting auto-accept.

Joe, can you re-verify that resources really are marked as busy?  They
do
get added properly and it all seems to work great... until you check the
free/busy and realize that they weren't really reserved after all.

I'm confused...
