Cisco TELEPRESENCE MANAGEMENT SUITE EXTENSION - FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE 2.2 Administrator's Manual page 27

Configuration Tool Changes
The view and layout of the configuration tool has changed compared to the previous product, but the
fundamentals concepts required to add/remove/test resource accounts have not changed. The
following changes are noteworthy:

The tool has a new layout using Tabs that replaces the previous used Advanced button.

At this time, the Configuration Utility does not display the last received email notification like the
previous product.
 When creating Resource Accounts, the utility no longer sets a password on newly created Active
Directory accounts and the accounts are set to 'disabled' in Active Directory.

Resource Calendar Permissions Groups are now optional and empty by default. If added, users
in these groups will be given permissions to newly created resource account's calendars which
allow the user to open the Calendar directly in their own client.

Choosing to enable asynchronous booking is no longer available. Asynchronous Booking is the
default in the Exchange 2007 resource model and is the preferred model over direct resource
booking.
See the Configuration Tool Reference for details on all of the features and use of the utility.
User Booking/User Experience Changes
The basic booking principles used by end-users have not changed from the previous product except
how meetings are saved. The new TANDBERG form may have additional options compared to
previous forms, but its overall use is unchanged.
If the Direct Resource Booking model was used before, users would get a pop-up if their meeting was
successfully booked and if the booking failed, they could not save their meeting request. With the
Asynchronous Booking model, the users will immediately be allowed to save the meeting, and shortly
after will receive a meeting accept/reject notice from each resource booked in the meeting. Please
see the Error! Reference source not found. section regarding End-user operation.
