[nfbcs] Entering an appointment on a shared Outlook calendar

[Linda Bloodsaw]

If your company will allow this, give each conference room an email address.  for instance, conferencerooma at company.com, thirdfloormeetingroom at sun.com or something like that.  If you only have a small number of conference rooms, then one person could manage them.  this is how it was done when I worked at a large copany about 5 years ago.  If you have more than 3 conference rooms, perhaps a separate email address just for reservations would help avoid filling up someone's inbox with requests for a conference rooom.   I cannot give you any more in-depth information because the company I worked for had an IT department that handled these sorts of requests.  Anyway, hope this helps.
