  You can use the following command to publish the resource for one year:

  Adjust the identity with the Mail of the room.

  Connect-ExchangeOnline
  Set-MailboxCalendarFolder -Identity room@myorganization.com:\calendar -PublishEnabled $true -DetailLevel Full -PublishDateRangeTo OneYear -PublishDateRangeFrom OneYear
