Conference Room A busy if one user is out

[Gregg Hill]

Hello!

Exchange newbie here, so please be gentle. A friend asked me to look into
his problem with Exchange.

They have an Exchange 2003 server, a separate Win2003 DC, users have Outlook
2003 on XP SP2. They are having an issue with the group of users assigned to
their "Conference Room A" list.

If any users in that group mark themselves out on their calendar for any
reason, it shows Conference Room A as busy...etc, this applies to others in
the Group as well.

How can I prevent "Conference Room A" from being marked as busy just because
users mark themselves as being out?

Thank you!

Not sure I understand why users are assigned to a "Conference Room A"
list. What does this list actually do?
Ordinarily I see users who have Conference Rooms use them as resource
mailboxes and use the Auto Accept Agent to configure the "room" to
email back an accept or decline meeting.
