Hello,

Does a delegate's inbox automatically process meeting invites for the calendars they manage if the delegate's computer is shutdown or the Outlook application is closed? By automatically process, I mean once the invite is received in the delegate's inbox, the invite automatically populates as tentative on the exec's calendar.

Several times I've seen an executive miss an appointment or run into scheduling conflicts because the executive's calendar invite that was received in the delegate's inbox did not tentatively populate on the calendar giving the exec visibility to his meetings.

The exec and delegate are using 2013. The exec does not receive his own invites. The exec has only one delegate who manages his invites. The exec and delegate have iPhone 6, but the delegate does not manage invites through her mobile device. 

Second part question: would it help if the delegate opened the invite on her mobile device?

Thanks,

It really depends on how you have set this up. If the delegation was done via Outlook, check what is selected under File -> Account settings -> Delegate -> "Deliver meeting requests...". Another thing to check is the value of ForwardRequestsToDelegates for the mailbox:

Get-CalendarProcessing mailbox | fl ForwardRequestsToDelegates

Hi,

Do you mean the new incoming meeting request was not added as tentative in the Boss's Calendar?

Please run the following command to check the calendar processing of the Boss's calendar:

Get-CalendarProcessing -Identity Boss | fl

Please make sure the AddNewRequestsTentatively is set to True:

Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity Boss -AutomateProcessing AutoUpdate -AddNewRequestsTentatively $True

The AddNewRequestsTentatively parameter is processed by Calendar Attendant which is enabled in both AutoUpdate and AutoAccept. Therefore, if the AddNewRequestsTentatively parameter is set to True, the new meeting request would be accepted tentatively in Calendar by default.

Regards,
