Meeting Room Resources

[colint]

Hello,

Is there clear instructions for adding resources via the command line somewhere that I cannot find?

If you are on 10:

man omaddu

or

man ommodu

With the release of Scalix 10 it is now possible to create a resource with omaddu and ommodu. It is no longer necessary to log onto the resource's mailbox with Outlook to configure it. We want the administrator to be able to create/update/delete resources using simple command line tools.
The relevant switches for omaddu from the man page are:

omaddu --resource Y|N -n name/mailnode[/internet-address]
[--canrecur Y|N] [--canconflict Y|N]
The relevant switches for ommodu from the man page are:

ommodu --resource Y|N { authentication-id | -o name[/mailnode]}
[--canrecur Y|N] [--canconflict Y|N]
Examples:

Create a resource:

omaddu --resource Y -n "room1/mailnode" -p pass

Create a resource that automatically declines conflicting meeting requests:

omaddu --resource Y -n "room1/mailnode" -p pass --canconflict N

Create a resource that automatically declines recurring meeting requests:

omaddu --resource Y -n "room1/mailnode" -p pass --canrecur N

Create a resource that automatically declines conflicting meeting requests and automatically accepts recurring meeting requests:

omaddu --resource Y -n "room1/mailnode" -p pass --canconflict N --canrecur N

Modify a resource:

ommodu -n “room1/mailnode” --canrecur Y

Delete a resource:

omdelu -n “room1/mailnode”

Show a resource's details: (Note the Resource Flags)

The Calendar folder of resources created in this way is given an ACL of 'Default: Author', thus allowing direct booking by anyone. If a tighter ACL is needed, then currently Outlook must be used to alter the permissions on the Calendar folder.
A resource created with 'omaddu and ommodu --resource ...' can be used immediately by Outlook or SWA.
