PS RoomSigning

Introduction

PSRoomSigning is a PowerShell based solution for RoomSigning, you can run this script on your Windows based display device, webserver or run natively in Azure. RoomSigning will show the meetings of your meeting rooms in your environment. If you have an information display in your company restaurant or foyer you can display this information. Only meetings of today are displayed and meetings in the past are no longer on the screen.


Example of RoomSigning

How does it work?

The PowerShell script is designed to run as a scheduled task, or scheduled Azure Automation Runbook. The script needs a Service Principal Name in Azure AD with ‘Calendar.Read’ and ‘Directory.Read’ permissions. And when your target is Azure Web App Service the SPN needs Contributor permissions on the App Service.

When the script runs it will read the configured Exchange Online Room mailboxes and will render an HTML file in a configured target location. This HTML file is the visual representation of the Exchange Rooms. The HTML location needs to be a location where your display device can access it. This can be a webserver running local or in Azure or can be a local folder or a shared folder on a file share. If your client can access it, it will work.

The HTML file generated contains a 30 second auto refresh setting so when the script writes a new version it will be updated automatically.
