A seasoned IT Professional in the Microsoft/Cisco telephony field based out of the UK, Andy will show you with demos how to go beyond the core Lync Server 2010 infrastructure to integrate enterprise voice (VoIP) in a laboratory or proof-of-concept (POC) environment.

Lync Enterprise Voice in a LAB or POC environment (Session Abstract)
How can I play with Lync Enterprise Voice in my LAB/POC without expensive equipment?
I know Lync Enterprise Voice is great but how can I prove this to my boss?
How can I test Dial-In Conferencing and Response Groups as an anonymous caller?
Many customers use a LAB or POC environment to road-test the features of Microsoft Lync. Luckily setting up Lync for basic IM, Presence, Web Conferencing and other core features can be straight forward.
Unfortunately testing the advanced and potentially most beneficial features such as Enterprise Voice, Dial-in Conferencing etc. can be much more challenging.
- Learn how to use some free software and tools to take your LAB/POC to the next level.
- Make sure your LAB/POC has all the features you plan to demo or deploy.
- Show your colleagues how Lync can change how they communicate and work.

This article applies to:
Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup update 5

PROBLEM
After you move a room mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 meeting requests are not processed automatically any more.

CAUSE
The mailbox is not converted to Room Mailbox object type and/or Resource Booking Attendand is not turned on.

SOLUTION
In Exchange 2010 users, resources and rooms are different object types with a lot of new functionalities, especially for te rooms.

After you move room mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 it has to be converted to a Room Mailbox first. Coverstion is done by using PowerShell. Below is PowerShell command example which will go through a list of mailboxes on an  Exchange 2010 server you specify , pick up those that have word room in their name, convert them to room mailboxes and set the Resource Booking Attendand to automatically process the meeting request.

Get-Mailbox -Server YOUREX2010SERVER | Where {($_.Name -ilike "*room*") -and ($_.RecipientTypeDetails -ne "RoomMailbox")} | Set-Mailbox -Type Room | Set-CalendarProcessing -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept
