how to hide meeting details in scheduling assistant

Question

_{Monday, July 1, 2013 7:00 AM | 1 vote}

Hi, I have a Exchange 2007 installation with Outlook 2007 clients. My collegues reported that when they are scheduling an event on Calendar, clicking on "Scheduling assistant" they can see all meeting details of a specific colleague of the organization, while for all other collegue meeting details are hidden and they can see only "free-busy time". I don't think this User is able to modify his settings, however I need to make his meeting details hidden by Exchange configuration and not by local (Outlook) configuration. Is it possible?

Thank you

Hi,

the first tool to use is Outlook of course. For the configuration of the Free/Busy permissions is usually the user responsible. How to change the permissions can you find here http://www.msoutlook.info/question/336

But that wasn't your question just for information. To change the configuration with Exchange you can only do it with Powershell. You need the necessary exchange-rights of course. Which rights exactly you need i don't know. I'm not an Exchange Admin, but your Exchange Admin should know ;-).

To reduce the details use the command I gave you.

To reverse the command use:

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity <Account of the colleague>:\Calendar -user Default -AccessRights LimitedDetails

I hope it helps.

Hi,

try this Powershell Command:

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity <Account of the Colleague>:\Calendar -user Default -AccessRights AvailabilityOnly

I tested it with Exchange 2010. I hope it works also with Exchange 2007.

Thank you. Is there an equivalent GUI method?

I've no access to Powershell right now.

No, the configuration is only possible with Powershell. The only GUI is Outlook.

Another way is you can give yourself Full Access to the Mailbox, create a MAPI Profile for the mailbox and make the configuration with Outlook.

Ok, I will try via Powershell when I could. Only a clarification: also the reverse configuration (make details visibile) is possible only with Powershell? I ask this because this problem happened suddenly, and the involved user is not able to use Powershell and make this configuration...

Sorry to dig this up but this set-mailboxfolderpermission command is not available in Exchange 2007.

Is there an equivalent for Exchange 2007?
