Split meeting room booking

Copper Contributor

My organisation has a large meeting room, which, when not in use, can be split into 2 smaller individual rooms. The large room is Room 1, and the smaller rooms are Room 2 and Room 3. Currently, we need to remind users that when Room 1 is needed, they need to also book Rooms 2 and 3. (I've recently added a MailTip on Room 1 to remind users of this).

 

Ideally we would have exchange set up in such a way that when Room 1 is booked, Rooms 2 and 3 are automatically booked out for the period of time Room 1 is required. As well as this, we would like Room 1 to be non-bookable when either room 2, 3 or both, are already booked. 

 

Can someone recommend a way to do this?

Hello!
Although there are all sorts of workarounds and people get very creative (read scripting), in essence you reached the limits of Exchange room booking.
There are room booking solutions running ontop of Exchange doing all this and much, much more.
If you are curious I invite you to read my blog at:
