Rule to Auto-Decline Meeting Invites from Specific Users

Question

_{Friday, June 1, 2012 4:57 PM}

Our Environment:  Exchange Server 2007, Outlook 2010 (32)

A user wants a rule that will automatically DECLINE meeting invites from specific users, and send a specified response message back to the invitee. Can anyone help?  My research tells me that I need to set up a rule which includes a script.  Not sure if this is the best way, and if so, I need help with the script.

Thanks!

Hi,

According to your description, how about creating the following rule:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
from people or public group
  and which is a meeting invitation or update
reply using a specific template
  and delete it

Sincerely

Hi Rex. Thank you for your reply.  I have tried to create the rule you suggest, but we need the meeting to be Automatically Declined, which is why we need a script to perform this action.  The rule I have created is as follows:

Conditions and Actions:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
from people or public group
  and which is a meeting invitation or update
  and on this computer only
reply using a specific template
  and run [Project1.AutoDeclineMeetings]

I'm struggling to figure out how to create a script that will automatically decline the meeting. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have the same question, but I was hoping that you would provide a rule that DECLINES. The two urls you posted both indicate ACCEPT. Got one for DECLINE?

Look closer at the website and it shows you how to modify the script to decline the meeting:

To decline a meeting, replace olMeetingAccepted with olMeetingDeclined:

Set oResponse = oAppt.Respond(olMeetingDeclined, True)
