Looking for Exchange 2007 Powershell command/cmdlet to modify default free/busy permission on a user account
By default, all OWA users in the same organization can see other users' free/busy information when they try to schedule a meeting with each other. But my boss wants to disable that from them whenever a new user is created. I'm not sure if this is even possible to do through PowerShell cmdlets. I was advised that I might have to use EWS in order to set this permission through MAPI.dll library. But MSDN documents also mention that Powershell was supposed to be able to do everything, and I already have all the code that runs Powershell commands, so I really want to find out if there's a way to do this through command line. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! puresun

Hi puresun, > By default, all OWA users in the same organization can see other users' free/busy information when they try to schedule a meeting with each other.

As a result you have to configure different groups who can see this infos and who can not see: http://blogs.technet.com/b/outlooking/archive/2010/01/13/free-busy-and-calendar-permissions-in-outlook-2007-running-against-exchange-2007-or-later.aspx > I'm not sure if this is even possible to do through PowerShell cmdlets.

Till now my powershell is not able to make me a coffee at the morning - perhaps someone can solve it! ...but no java solution please! ;-) Regarding to your question I found this script: http://gsexdev.blogspot.com/2008/03/default-calendar-permission-powershell.html Perhaps you can use some parts of it...

Hi Christian, Thanks for your answer! I have settled my mind with EWS+Powershell now. Best Regards, Puresun
