Hi all, I need your help, as i am trying to enable Process External Meeting Messages in exchange 2007 for all mailboxes. below is the command i have tried and the result i got. I have successfully done for individual mailbox using the cmdlt, Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -Identity "<Mailbox_Name>" -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $True. But i need the command to enable this feature for all mailboxes at once. it will be highly appreciated if anybody tell me the solution. Regards, Robin.

Give a try with below will set for the enitre mailboxs which will be under the specifc database :-- Get-mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" | Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages: $true Or You can aleter your script while adding the ->> Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" -Resultsize.......................... as rest of urs. ( Note first test and run in test lab after that make the change in ur production.) OR Try with below as well.. $mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -server "server name" -ResultSize Unlimited |% {$_.recipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox'}; foreach($mailbox in $mailboxes){Set-mailboxcalendarsettings $mailbox -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true} Also every time when u create a mailbox u will have to set "ProcessExternalMeetingMessages" for it specifically. You cant make it default somewhere, except running the command after u create the mailbox. GO through the similar thread will help you as it is for 2010 but you can change what i changed above according to exchange 2007 - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/e8417d42-417a-41f7-858f-45e8bd69fc32 Thanks

Hi, If you want to configure the setting on all usermailboxes you can leave the server parameter out. This should work: Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails usermailbox -Resultsize unlimited| Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $True Martina Miskovic

Thank you amit for your response, It worked for me with a little Tweak on one of the servers out of two exchange 2007 servers. Below is the command i used. Get-mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages: $true But on the second server it came out with an error "cannot save changes made to an item to store" Does anybody have an idea what will be the cause? Thanks in Advance, Robin.
