I'm getting meeting requests outside of my working hours. Is it possible to set Outlook to automatically decline meeting requests that are outside of these hours? Or at least notify the person sending the meeting request?
You can't control it within Outlook. If it's a problem, create appointments for non-working time and mark them busy or OOF so people won't try to schedule appointments at those times. A VBA macro could decline the meetings for you automatically, otherwise you need to do it yourself.
The admin can set it using the Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlet, specifically using ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkingHours, but this applies only to resource mailboxes.
Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "Conference Room 1" -ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkingHours $true
Hi Diane,
Unfortunately this setting can only be applied to resources in exchange, do you know any cmdlt to set it for users as well?
It's been so long since I looked at that that I needed to refresh my memory on it. Its not even correct. Ouch. :(
There is no option built into Outlook to decide if outside of working hours. You can do it using a macro but it only runs when Outlook for windows is running. If the meetings are internal and the organizer uses the scheduling assistant, they should see the availablity. It won't help with extenal meetings though.
