NOTE: The information in this article applies to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, RC2 that was available for public download.



SYMPTOMS
When you use the Direct Booking feature of Microsoft Outlook 2000 and your resource accounts are on an Exchange 2000 server, your users may receive the following error message when they try to directly book a resource:

Unknown Error

Unable to directly book the resource.



CAUSE
The Direct Booking feature of Outlook 2000 requires at least Author permissions when the resource accounts are on a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 computer. When the resource accounts are on an Exchange 2000 Release Candidate 2 (RC2) server, Author permissions do not work; Editor permissions are required.



WORKAROUND
To work around the error message mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section when resource accounts are on an Exchange 2000 RC2 server, use the following to change the permissions:
 * 1) Log on to the Resource Account with Outlook 2000.
 * 2) Right-click the Calendar folder, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Permissions tab.
 * 4) Change the default permission to &quot;Editor.&quot;

NOTE: If you do not want to grant Editor permissions, you must at least set Edit Items to &quot;All,&quot; instead of &quot;Own.&quot;
 * 1) Click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, RC 2, which was available for public download. This problem was resolved in the RTM version of Exchange 2000 Server.
