Booking room calendars over 180 days out on Exchange 2010 (affects Exchange 2007 also).

While booking a recurring event with a room calendar, I receive the message "This resource can only be scheduled up to 180 days in advance". Actual e-mail below. I was booking a biweekly event for a year.

Your meeting request was declined.

This resource can only be scheduled up to 180 days in advance. The end time should fall before 5/21/2015.

All times listed are in the following time zone: Eastern Standard Time


Come to find out that this is the default setting.

Execute Get-MailboxCalendarSettings "<mailbox alias>" | fl

Look at settings for BookingWindowInDays and EnforceSchedulingHorizon.




Change the setting with:

Set-MailboxCalendarSettings <mailbox alias> -BookingWindowInDays <Days>
OR
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings <mailbox alias> -EnforceSchedulingHorizon  $False

No need to do both.
