Outlook 2013/2016 Meetings in room resources replace subject with organizers name...

Ran into this today.. last time was a number of years ago so I had forgotten about it.  Anyway you create a room resource mailbox in Exchange right? I 'assign' it to a conference room so users can schedule meetings and keep some semblance of order right?
Except first user opens their personal calendar, creates a meeting object, selects your new room as the location, types a descriptive subject line and send it on.
The room accepts, and adds the meeting to it's calendar except it's deleted teh subject and replaced the text with the users name.  WTH?

While I do not understand the reasoning.. this is by default.  Logon to your Exchange server, open the Management shell and type the following:


Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity <RESOURCEMAILBOX> -DeleteSubject $False -AddOrganizerToSubject $False
