The Room finder dock on the right hand side of a new meeting doesn't show up for me consistently. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. I thought maybe it was an Exchange connectivity issue but other people in my team will have it when I don't.

What version of MS Outlook are you using? Could you also describe what behavior are you trying to achieve? Do you want the Room Finder constantly hidden or constantly shown?
You might want to tweak some registry entries and see the result.
In Outlook 2010:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences
In Outlook 2013:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
If RoomFinderShow
is 0
in the previously mentioned policy hive, the Room Finder behaves the following ways when you start Outlook:
- The Room Finder is not shown by default on the Appointment tab.
- You can manually enable the Room Finder on the Appointment tab.
- If you open a new meeting form after enabling the Room Finder in another meeting form, the Room Finder is not shown by default on the Appointment tab of the new meeting form.
- If you manually enable and then disable the Room Finder on the Appointment tab, nothing is written into the registry.

1I would assume that your Microsoft Exchange Add-in is not running. Next time when you don't see Room Finder button, please check if the add-in is running (File->Options->Add-ins) Sep 8, 2014 at 9:47

1The answer above is only relevant to the actual Room Finder window/section visibility. Not the button. If the button is missing, then this answer and all the info in the link provided does not apply Sep 8, 2014 at 9:51
