Question

Explanation

This question tests the ability to provision a Microsoft Teams Rooms resource account using Exchange Online PowerShell, specifically configuring automatic meeting acceptance via calendar processing settings.

Approach. The correct approach uses two PowerShell cmdlets in sequence. First, 'New-Mailbox' with the '-Room' switch parameter creates a room resource mailbox (not a regular user mailbox or equipment mailbox): 'New-Mailbox -MicrosoftOnlineServicesID [email protected] -Name Room1 -Room'. Second, 'Set-CalendarProcessing' with '-AutomateProcessing AutoAccept' configures the mailbox to automatically accept meeting invitations: 'Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity Room1 -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept'. The '-AutomateProcessing AutoAccept' parameter is the critical setting that fulfills the requirement - without it, the room defaults to 'AutoUpdate' which does not auto-accept. These cmdlets require a connection to Exchange Online PowerShell (Connect-ExchangeOnline).

Concept tested. Exchange Online PowerShell provisioning of Teams Rooms resource accounts - specifically the 'New-Mailbox -Room' cmdlet to create a room mailbox and 'Set-CalendarProcessing -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept' to enable automatic meeting acceptance, which is a prerequisite for a Teams Rooms device to function correctly.
