Those are two mutually exclusive behaviors. "Direct booking" means "book without requiring anyone to approve it." You have to choose which method you want to use.

FYI, Exchange 2007 will make what you want possible.

Does anyone know a way to direct book a resource in Exchange, but
before the resource is officially booked, require a resource
administrator to approve it?

For example, I want to Book Conference Room A.
In the way that KB 291616 describes, but before the room is actually
booked, I need one more step - an approval by the "owner" of the
resource.

Is this possible?
