I am trying to programmatically get rooms list (Resource Scheduler) from Exchange Server 2007 SP1.

When I run the code from the following link, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/hh532566(v=exchg.80).aspx

get an exception like so:

The service request GetRoomLists is only valid for Exchange version Exchange2010 or later.

Any idea how to get the RoomsList in Exchange Server 2007 SP1?

In Exchange 2007 rooms are classified as resources. If you want to get a rooms schedule then you can use the EWS API call GetUserAvailability.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa564001.aspx

When you make this call you need to have the correct alias name for the room/resource your interested in. I have built an application on Ex 2007 which does what your talking about using the availability call.
