When migrating to Exchange Online, default settings for room mailboxes don’t allow others users than the “booker” to see information about the booking. This is a fast rundown of how I changed some permissions to allow users to see who booked the room.

Show calender processing for a ROOM mailbox

|
Get-CalendarProcessing -Identity "My Meeting Room - First Floor" | Select *
|
Set calender processings settings for a ROOM mailbox
In this case, we are extending the booking window to 545 days
1
|
Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "My Meeting Room - First Floor" -BookingWindowInDays 545
|
Set booking window on all rooms retrieve earlier
By piping to the foreach commandlet, we are now setting the Booking Window to 545 days on all room retrieved

$Rooms | ForEach-Object { Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity $_.Alias -BookingWindowInDays 545}
|
Get calendar settings from all mailboxes
Pipe all mailboxes ($Room) to the foreach commandlet to get selected settings from the mailboxes

|
$Rooms | ForEach-Object { Get-CalendarProcessing -Identity $_.Alias | Select Identity, BookingWindowInDays, MaximumDurationInMinutes,AllowConflicts}
|
Get Mailbox Folder Permissions
1
|
Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "My Meeting Room - First Floor"
|
Set permissions on Mailbox
The variable; $MBox is a name of a mailbox.
And the access right, ‘LimitedDetails’ means that users are able to see who booked the room. But not the title or other information.
