I have created a user account in Active Directory named "Executive Conference Room" and assigned it an Exchange mailbox. I have logged into this account only to set the Outlook calender to automatically accept meeting invitations and decline those meetings that conflict. When I personally create a new meeting in Outlook, I am inviting this "Executive Conference Room" account as a resource to my meeting. As a result everyone will then be able to view the "Executive Conference Room" calendar to identify any meetings and appointments already scheduled. I have contacted Microsoft to ask what licenses if any would I need for this account. Unfrotunately, I am not getting a straight forward answer. Is there anyone out there with any concrete information on this?

To have this account you do not need a license.

You do need a license for each outlook user that is connected.

Say if you have 50 users but only 30 licenses. That means only 30 users are licenesed to access e-mail. Now if one of the 30 disconnects, it does mean that one of the other 20 can connect.

If you have more 50 licenses for exchange and only 30 users you have no problem.
