External Appointment Attendees Don't Update Calendar
Hi,When users of our Exchange 2007 server invite attendees external to our company, their response doesn't show up on the Outlook (or OWA) Calendar on the tracking tab. This caused our sales VP to call someone who had replied, making him "look stupid".I found that once I used this command on his mailbox Set-mailboxcalendarsettings "name" -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true, the responses showed up as expected. We have hundreds of users and more join every week, so my question is: how can I change the default setting for the entire company, whether it be for existing or new employees? Or maybe there's just a checkbox I missed?Thanks! Tom

Per my knowledge, we cant change the default value on the ProcessExternalMeetingMessages parameter. However, we can modify the parameter periodically with windows task for the newly created mailboxes Notes: For how to set a task for the script, please refer to this article The following is the script I created and verified in the lab (Exchange 2007 SP1), please test it in your own lab =====================Script.PS1===================== Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin $NewUsers = Get-User -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {($_.WhenCreated -gt (get-date).addhours(-12))} | Select-object DisplayName $NewUsers | Set-mailboxcalendarsettings -Identity $_.DisplayName -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true =====================Script.PS1=====================
