Extending the Booking days for Conference Room Calendar (Resource)

October 13, 2016 by mo wasay

By default Office365 limits Resource booking days to just 180 days. The maximum days it can be booked for 1080 days. I like to make resource booking days 1 year from the day of making the reservation/ appointment. Now instead of visiting each calendar and making the change, powershell can help us out.

#Connect to Office365 
$cred = Get-Credential
Import-Module MSOnline
Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
$s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
$importresults = Import-PSSession $s

#Get all the Rooms and make the booking days to 365
Get-MailBox | Where {$_.ResourceType -eq "Room"} | Set-CalendarProcessing -BookingWindowInDays 365
