Hi.

I'm trying to find a way of how to change the default sharing level of new users calenders. I have looked at the sharing policies but it seems to me that those are only for sharing outside the organization, at least I can't find a way of how to get these working inside the organization.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way for me to set the default sharing level of all newly created users calenders automatically?

You have to run a script against any newly created mailbox to change the permissions for the 'Default' user:

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity user@domain.com:\Calendar -User Default -AccessRights AvailabilityOnly

Hi,

By default, when we create a new user inside organization, Exchange will apply the default sharing policy to this new user automatically. We can check the default sharing policy by the following steps.

1. Logon EAC, navigate to organization > sharing.
2. Under Individual Sharing, select the default sharing a policy, and then click Edit.
3. In sharing policy, check the box of Make this policy my default sharing policy.

You can use the same way to edit the default sharing policy.

Modify, disable, or remove a sharing policy

Apply a sharing policy to mailboxes

Thanks Vasil.

I was hoping for an automated setup possibility through the EAC and not the need for scripting myself to death but thanks for the command :)

This is what I was hoping would work for me but it seems that those settings has no effect on the mailboxes I create. I have tried creating a new sharing policy and assigning it to users and I have tried editing the Default sharing policy. Neither of those have any effect on the Calendar sharing internally :(

I have tried this on different Exchange servers on different Networks and neither of those I could get to work using the suggested method :(

To my knowledge the only way of doing this is to script it, was really hoping for an automated way.

But thanks for taking the time to try and anser my question :)
