So I've tried to search for a potential solution for this, but all the searches i do points me to the Resource auto accept agent for Exchange, which doesn't really apply in my case. I am looking to see if there is some way of making this type of scenario work. I work in my organizations helpdesk and am responsible for sending email notifications to our employees that they are scheduled to get software updates at certain times. Problem we have is that our userbase has become numb to emails, so they are no a reliable mechanism to makeing sure full awareness is being made. What I'm hoping to accomplish is that when i send an email notification to the affected users a calendar appointment could accompany/piggyback the message and automatically be made to that users calendar. In essense I hope that there's some way that from our primary communication mailbox (which is not a resource) I could "assign" appointments to virtually any users calendar (again non-resource) but not give the user the option to accept/deny/tentative the appointment. We do have a web-published change schedule, but it's widely underutilized, and more generic. This solution could, as I envision, be targetted to the people that we address in the To field of the email that gets sent out. We are primarily running on Exchange2007 servers, and users are on Office 2003. We will be migrating to Office 2010 towards the end of the year if that makes any difference. If anyone has any thoughts, or possibly any alternatives I would gladly appreciate any ideas.

I personally don't think it is possible unless you set all the user mailbox to auto accept but the downside is that any meeting request sent to them will auto accept :P

Hi, To auto accept the appointment, please try to check "Automatically accept meeting requests and process cancellations" option on the Outlook side. Go to Tools | Options | Calendar Options | Resource Scheduling - If "Automatically accept meeting requests and process cancellations" or any of the check boxes are selected. Thanks Allen

I have been using autoexept on meetings for many years on my Exchange 2003 email. On versions of Outlook prior to 2007 this worked fine. I upgraded to Outlook 2007 and it still functioned, but other users who had a new install of Outlook 2007 it ceased to function. I have now had a fresh installation of Outlook 2010 and it has now stopped functioning for me too. As there have been no changes at the server level the change must have occurred at the Outlook level. I have "automatically accept meeting request...." and " automatically decline conflicting...." options selected.
