Auto accept meeting invites

[steveg]

We have a whole school email account which we used as a shared calendar. This was setup many years ago and is a user mailbox with calendar permissions assigned so anyone can add to it.

 

We have now started using resource mailboxes for all our meetings rooms which works well, except if someone creates something in the calendar of the whole school account and then adds a meeting room, the meeting room is then booked in the name of whole school so we don't kwno who it is.

 

What we would now like to do is for everyone to create their own meetings in their calendar and invite whole school as an attendee if it is something that affects the whole school, so meetings are booked in their name and it is still added to the whole school calendar.

 

I need to make the whole school mailbox auto accept any meeting request or cancellation it receives, regardless of if it conflicts with another meeting. Is this possible on what is a user mailbox? I can find instructions on how to do it in the desktop version of Outlook, but this seems to only process this when outlook is running.
