outlook 2010 does not successfully book a resource

thanks to a fellow coworker who pointed out this article “Direct Booking does not successfully book a resource in Outlook 2010”, i was finally able to start scheduling meeting rooms again.  if you recently moved to outlook 2010 and can’t seem to get it to book a calendar resource correctly, you can drop in a reg key to make it work.  here’s the content of a .reg file i created for this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar]
"EnableDirectBooking"=dword:00000001

  3. On an unrelated note, the verified for this page is extremely difficult to use. I must have tried submitting my post above (3rd post) about 10 times.
