The Resource Policy tab allows you to configure various settings that control whether or not certain users are allowed to automatically book meetings based on the characteristics of the meeting request itself.
Many of the settings that you can see in figure above should be self-explanatory from the descriptions. For example, the Allow conflicting meeting requests option means exactly that. If you allow conflicting meetings, any conflicting meeting requests will be accepted by the resource mailbox and it will be up to the meeting organizers to work things out. The Booking windows (days) option covers how far in advance users can book this meeting room and as you can see the default setting is 180 days which is approximately 6 months. If you want to effectively disable any advance booking restrictions, simply set this value to 0. The Maximum duration (minutes) option covers how long the meeting request is allowed to last. As you can see, the default value for this option is 1440 minutes which equates to 1 day. This will probably suffice in the majority of situations for a room resource mailbox but should any of your users need to book the room resource for more than 1 day you will need to alter this value here. You can control the policy for conflicting meeting requests via the Maximum conflict instances and Conflict percentage allowed options.
