I suggest you try the question on the Outlook list at www.slipstick.com, although Nikki seems to be outstanding on Outlook.

What an ignorant fscking request!! Personally, I'd have told them "NO"... -----Original Message----- From: McCready, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 9:47 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Appointments. OK. I changed the Calendar options "Publish" setting to 0 months, and indeed, you now can not see what is on the users calendar that you are trying to schedule an appointment with. But, what I'm trying to do is get that calendar blocked out entirely, so it is impossible to even send the person a meeting request. I don't think it can be done. I looked under the rules wizard, but I don't see anything that would identify a "meeting request" that is coming in. -----Original Message----- From: Nikki Peterson - ITCX [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 5:26 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Appointments. I'm confused. Are they "Making Meetings"? That just sends a request for a meeting that is either accepted or denied by the recipient. Are they able to write directly on the calendars? They should not have more than "Review" rights to each others calendars. If people aren't placing things in their calendars because they are personal (but still happen during work hours) they should learn to use the little "private" check mark for their calendar items. This then only shows on free/busy that you are "NOT AVAILABLE" during that period. It gives no other information. If they don't want to share their free/busy information then go into Calendar options and set it to "Publish 0 (zero) months". -----Original Message----- From: Salvador Manzo [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 2:00 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Appointments. Document actions for Senior Management. Implement Auto-Delete rule as described below, IF the options are available in OL98. Make sure to tie it to the Appointment Form only. Wait for them to complain when actual meeting requests don't come through. -----Original Message----- From: McCready, Robert [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 13:50 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Appointments. They don't want the system to make the judgement calls, they just want it blocked completely. Absurd? Yes. Possible? I don't know. -----Original Message----- From: Salvador Manzo [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 4:26 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Appointments. Rules Wizard(in OL2000, mind... may also be in OL98): When messages arrive from _User1_ using the _Appointment_ Form, perform action on message (delet, auto-deny, etc.) HOWEVER, this doesn't address how the system is supposed to recognize if it is or is not a valid appointment request. A MUCH better solution would be to modify User2's behaviour and explain to them what the PRIVATE setting on appointments does. IOW, don't try to make the system make judgement calls that the User should be making. -----Original Message----- From: McCready, Robert [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 13:09 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Appointments. Outlook 98, Exchange 5.5 SP4, NT 4.0 SP6a. Is it possible to block User 1 from trying to make an appointment on User 2's calendar? We have a few management employees (User 2) that do not put EVERYTHING they do on their calendar, and they would prefer not to have other people trying to make an appointment on their calendar, thinking that they are free, when actually they aren't. Yes, the easiest thing to do is to deny the request, but is there a way to block their calendar from even showing up when someone tries to request a meeting? Thanks.
