Coex: Users in outlook add room as participant - invitation does not arrive in resource database in Domino

Hello Anja,

Thank you for posting to the Coexistence Manager for Notes (CMN) forum. I understand you have questions about booking a Notes room from Outlook.

Coexistence Manager for Notes (CMN) is able to support scenarios where resource booking requests need to be approved by Notes resource owners. The Notes resource owners should be notified of the booking request.

If the resource booking requests are not showing up in the Notes "resource.nsf" file, then perhaps there are issues with the CMN Mail Connector "Resource Mapping" file. This functionality also requires that the Notes resources have an Internet Address defined in the "resource.nsf" file.

Here are a few related KB articles:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need any additional clarification.

Hi, the resources have an smtp address and that is the one which is used in outlook. We invite the room as participant to have free/busy, we also invite as room. The invitation arrives in the resource database but it is not processed. We noticed it has the format notice instead of invitation.

We also ran the repair tools, no improvement.

In the log we find the following (names are xxed)

Hi, the CMN Mail Connector configuration includes a "Resource Mapping" file - did you list the resource there?

Hello Anja,

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like we are going to need to investigate this issue in greater depth than is available via this community forum. We would suggest creating a Service Request so that a Quest Support Engineer can investigate this issue with you. You can create a new Service Request using this link.

Hi anja beckmann  and Trevor Taegder , I don't suppose you could shed any light on what was done to resolve this? We appear to be getting a very similar message in our log.

 chuck babcock  , not sure if this may help us?

Hello rich jones ,

Typically, this type of issue is caused by the Resource Mapping file that is configured in the Coexistence Management Console | Mail Connector. The SMTP address defined in the resource mapping should match the "targetaddress" or "ExternalEmailAddress" of the Exchange/Office 365 contact that represents the Domino room or resource. Even when the resource mapping file is setup correctly, in the Domino Console, you will still see the first email come in to book the Domino room and fail, then the CMN Mail Connector will then automatically generate a second follow-up email that should book the room successfully. 

If you continue to experience issues booking Domino rooms and resources with CMN, then you may want to create a Service Request, as each environment is unique and may require a unique configuration. You can create a Service Request using this link.

It was indeed the resource mapping file. After we had fixed it everything worked fine.
