Meeting organizer name replaces Subject in Exchange Resource
October 5th, 2010 
No Comments Problem:
Client creates a new Meeting request in Microsoft Outlook and adds a Conference Room or another Exchange Resource. When the meeting reaches the Resource Calendar the Subject line is deleted and replaced by the organizers name.
Cause:
Microsoft Exchange Resources set to AutoAccept meeting requests (AutomateProcessing: AutoAccept), by default delete the subject and replace it with the organizers name. Though this feature can make sense in some scenarios it can cause confusion in most.
Solution:
Correct the values for AddOrganizerToSubject and DeleteSubject for the resource.
From the Exchange Management Shell execute the following command:
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -Id "Domain\Resource ID" -AddOrganizerToSubject: $false -DeleteSubject: $false
To verify the adjustments you can use the Get-MailboxCalendarSettings command:
Get-MailboxCalendarSettings -Id "Domain\Resource ID" | FL AutomateProcessing, AddOrganizerToSubject, DeleteSubject
