Why won't Outlook let my staff book a recurring meeting in our Boardroom Location for all of 2024?

Copper Contributor

Hi there,

 

My colleague wishes to book a recurring meeting in Outlook, with the location as 'Boardroom' to occur every 2 weeks on a Monday for the entirety of 2024 (and possibly beyond).

 

If you see the below image, his meeting request is declined, and seems to only let him book until 15 July 2024.

 

Does anyone know a way around this limitation and why it does this? Could it have anything to do with potentially other meetings booked in that location on any of those dates?

 

Thanks,

Danielle

Hi @DanielleW2022,

the cause of this issue are Booking settings of your resource mailbox (Boardroom) and also not defining the end date of the recurring meeting.

When creating a reccuring meeting in this case, it is important to define the end date before 15.07.2024.
That means that the settings of a resource mailbox (Boardroom) are set to not allow unlimited reccuring meetings (date must be defined) and the date must be before 15.07.2023, because the Booking window is less then 365 days.

You can change these settings as an Administrator, by using Exchange Online Admin Center (https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/) > Resources > Booking > Booking Option Settings > Booking window (days)

If you want to leave the settings as they are, then you need to define the end date to the reccuring meeting in Outlook:
