HMC tips for Exchange: Part 1 - Adding a Room

First of a new series, but this is more a mini series (just three parts). It is just a follow up on the last series Zen of Hosting so it focuses on a few tips for working with HMC. All this series is from HMC 4.0, so on 4.5 your mileage may vary. The first one is how to add a room, because meeting scheduling is kind of important. To do that, first add a user via the normal UI (i.e. the web portal), from this point it’s actually normal stuff for adding a room. Firstly go into AD user and groups and disable the user, then go into the Exchange management console and add a room to your existing (disabled) user and viola done. The GAL and other Exchange/AD stuff is maintained because the user was added via the HMC way.
