It's something I'm trying to do as well. There's a very good tutorial here:

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF019.html

Now, here I show you how the simple things in life elude me:

I haven't worked too hard at it yet, but offhand I'm not sure, after creating the AD Resource mailbox, how to Log in using the AD account for the mailbox I just created. I know this is easy, but I'm out of coffee. I tried logging out of my workstation completely and logging in as "ConferenceRoom", but it wouldn't allow me to do that. And I know you can't open more than one Exchange Server email account in Outlook at one time. What to do, what to do...

i did/was able to allow an admin to open the boss's maibox under her mailbox in XP by the Tools/services
like 5.5 had.

so i assume u can still open a second mailbox under yours, but you should be able to login as the conference room which is basically a new user, no ??

btw...that is a great article/tutorial
so no autoaccept script is needed ??

I'm hijacking your help thread. What about MY needs!?

I'm in Outlook XP, so there's no services tab that I know of, but I can create another profile for "confroom" (my resource) but it tells me I don't have permission to log on.

Do you know, offhand, where I can set permission for another user to log onto an account?

I also tried logging into my whole machine as confroom, but I get an error saying it couldn't create a profile because it couldn't find the file specified. Which I found strange, because I expect it to create a profile if there isn't one already.

Active director users/computers
there is an Exchange Advanced tab
and click the Mailbox rights button

you should create a new user for the resource and login as that to set rights

Strangely enough, I can't find the Exchange Advanced Tab. Know why this may be?

I right click any user, select properties...I see Exchange General, Exchange Features, but no Exchange Advanced. Weird.

You have to have the Advanced View on in ADUC first.
