Using AutoAccept

To use the AutoAccept sample application

  1. Log on to Microsoft Outlook as yourself.
  2. Using Microsoft Outlook, create a meeting request in which you specify the conference room whose mailbox is being monitored by AutoAccept. You can start by clicking Plan a Meeting on the Compose menu. For more information, see the topic "Meeting Planner" in the online Help for Microsoft Outlook.
  3. Send this meeting request to the mailbox of the conference room.

If the room is free for the time you requested, the AutoAccept script grants your request and enters meeting information into the calendar of the conference room. It also sends to all meeting participants a message indicating that the meeting request has been accepted, and invites them to the meeting.

Notes  The AutoAccept sample application has minimal error checking. If you want, you can create a more robust application by adding more error checking to the script, autoaccept.txt.

The AutoAccept sample application does not handle recurring appointments, nor can it remove meetings if a cancellation request is received. AutoAccept can only accept or deny meeting requests outright; it cannot accept a meeting request tentatively.
