Suggestions are not provided because most attendees are not available during your working hours

“Suggestions are not provided because most attendees are not available during your working hours.” – is one of those messages you look at and think.. this is weird. It was working yesterday.

❗ Problem Description

While testing Room Finder instead of getting proper list of available rooms we were given a cryptic error “Suggestions are not provided because most attendees are not available during your working hours.”

Outlook Room Finder showing no room suggestions and the warning that most attendees are not available during working hours.

After a longer while verifying settings on Exchange, spending countless hours looking for solution…we have finally found what the problem is….

✅ Solution

Turns out in our case it was just pure choice of days. We were trying to schedule a room on a time that's in the past already or outside of working hours for that day (hence grayed out on the calendar). After choosing proper day / time we were able to find the rooms on the list.

That was one obvious fix… that sometimes can give you headache.
