# WHAT DOES THIS DO? # This PowerShell script creates a general callable function to report on double bookings in # meetings rooms / resources in Microsoft Exchange 2016 or Office 365 # # WHO IS THIS FOR? # This script is meant for Microsoft Exchange administrators and support folks that manage Exchange. # It is NOT meant for end users (but see below on Sumatra's OTHER solution for that) # # WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THIS SCRIPT OUTPUT? # This script produces a CSV file that lists up-coming conflicts in resources. # It shows the meeting room, organizers, meeting start and end time, and the # number of conflicts. Please note: There is no subject! Most rooms are # configured only to show the organizer name as the subject. # # We recommend sending an Excel spreadsheet with this information to all people # on the list with instructions. For example: # ...'We've noticed one of your upcoming meetings conflicts with one or more meetings # booked in the xxx conference room on the same date and time. We've # attached the list of conflicts and the name(s) of the other meeting # organizers. We hope you will work out the conflicts, in advance, to # avoid any unnecessary altercations in the room. Management frowns # upon violence in the workplace.' ... # # # HOW TO USE THIS FILE # 1. Make a copy and work on the copy # 2. You will need a SERVICE ACCOUNT with IMPERSONATE Rights to any conference rooms or resources # you wish to check for double bookings. # For instructions on setting up a service account see: # https://calendarservermigration.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-cookbook-version-of-exchange-2013.html # 3. If it looks like code -- it IS code -- DO NOT MODIFY IT! # 4. GO to the 'CUSTOMIZE HERE FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT' Section at the very bottom to set up your credentials # and any relevant parameters # 5. Follow additional instructions at bottom
