Hi, We have a user that setup a monthly meeting with a room resource and is gone now. The account has been deleted, but the recurring meeting still appears. Is there a way to remove a recurring appointment without the users account?Thanks,-B

Any delegated owner or Editor of that calendar can delete it or an accountwill full mailbox access.

I'm glad there is a way to do this... I have another question. How do I make myself the owner or editor of the calendar item or better yet is there something I need to do go to give myself full mailbox rights. I am the sysadm of the domain. Also, once I have the correct rights how do I go about removing the calendar item? Do I just open outlook find the offending recurring calendar items and click cancel or is this something that must be done in the exchange management console?Thanks for your help

What version of Exchange is this? Yes, you can open the open and delete it. You should be prompted to send a cancellation.

version 2007 sp1 rollup6When I click on "Cancel Meeting" from my outlook client I receive the message: "The item cannot be moved. It was either already moved or deleted, or access was denied"If I click on the "Send Update" buttonI receive themessage : "Cannot send this item. You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation"

Do you have full mailbox permissions for that resource calendar?Or the necessary client perms?Giving yourself full mailbox perms and opening it via OWA or Outlook is probably the simplest.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996343.aspxHow to Allow Mailbox Access

There is no mailbox to gain control over since the user has been deleted. I have read some other discussions and it seems that the only way is to have everyone who was sent the recurring meeting to go into their outlook client and decline the meeting. Not sure if this will work, but I have sent out a message to all my users who are part of the recurring meeting to do this.What would really be a bind is if one of the members of the recurring meeting were also gone and deleted.

Is the mailbox still around however and just disconnected? How long ago was it removed? And yes, if the meeting organizer's mailbox is truly gone, then each user will have to delete from their own individual calendars - or alternatively, use a export-mailbox powershell command and delete based on subject searching through mailboxes.

This is for years Oultook´s bug-of-all-bugs in my eyes - impossibility of re-assigning the meeting organizer directly from Outlook. In our dynamic world people shuffle in organizations and positions, leaving for shorter or longer time, often forgetting or not willing to manage all their organized meetings. They leave but virtually remain in the organisation until the last planned occurence of their recurring meeting passes by. The only official MS solution is to ask all original participants to decline from the meeting(s) and to accept a new one arranged by a new organizer (!) does not this seem stupid? This is offten a painful issue - organizing of such a change can take couple hours and involvement of many people especially accross arganizations where the participant are not bound by one unifiyng MS Exchange (or whichever similar). Simple button for taking (re-assigning) ownership of the meeting and sending update to the participants would solve both above mentioned problems, saving huge $$$ globally. Roman
