Turning off Reminders for Resource Mailboxes

We recently upgraded our system from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000. One
change was instead of sceheduling conference rooms and such by inviting them
as a person, they are now set up as resources. This works fine.

Problem is if I have to log in directly to one of those boxes by making its
own profile and going in that way, I get spammed with hundreds and hundreds
of reminders from all the people that setup their meetings to include a
reminder.

Is there any way to set up a resource mailbox so that it doesn't get any
reminders at all? It takes a few minutes to spam me with reminders every
time I open it up and if I dismiss them all that takes a few minutes as well
so it's annoying.

With the resource mailbox open, go to Tools, Options, Other tab, Advanced
Options, Reminder Options

Err, wait.

I exited Outlook. Opened it up. Chose the profile I had created for the
Conference Room and followed your instructions.

Then I exited outlook. Opened it back up and chose my own profile and
logged in and it had turned it off there too. Looks like it turned if off on
my client and not just for the profile I was logged in with.

is there any way to set it just so that specific profiles can not show the
reminders?

When you say you set them up as resources, did you create a mailbox for each
resource?

Well, I personally didn't set them up, our Exchange people did. But Yes,
each resource/room has it's own mailbox that can be foudn in the GLobal
Address Book. But to give people permissions to delete items and such, I
created a profile that is linked to the mailbox for the room. I launch
outlook, select that profile, and log in. THis brings me into that resources
mailbox. Problem is, this then bombards me with all the reminders from all
the meetings and such that people have scheduled in that room.

I just was looking for a way to set the Resource mailboxes to not
save/store/show/whatever the reminders.

Not sure if it's possible or not....

Mr B - You are very right. I just tested it myself and to my amazement it
turned off reminders for ALL profiles. That is ridiculous. If you find the
solution let me know!

When you turn off reminders you are doing so on an application-wide basis in
Outlook, whether you do it from the UI or from the registry setting. There
is no per profile setting for reminders in Outlook.

Is there any way to set up Exchange 2000 so that Resources do not get
Reminders saved to their calendars (only save the actual event)? If so,
could you let me know the steps to take so I can pass that on to our "Admins"
here?

Thanks!
