Default Corporate Calendar Sharing Policy
-
Monday, February 13, 2012 3:32 PM
I was excited to see that Exchange 2010 has a 'Default Sharing Policy' but dismayed to find out that it only applies to Federated Domains.
Our organization does not federate with other domains - however, we want to set a corporate default calendar policy to apply to all mailboxes. We want everyone to have 'Reviewer' rights to everyone's calendar. There are exceptions: 6 execs at the top of the food chain where we don't want anyone but their admins to have 'Reviwer' rights.
What is the best way to accomplish this? I appreciate your help on this one.
Thanks

You will use ExFolders as PFDaveAdmin is not supproted in 2010.

Hi crunch70,
Any updates?
Seems like you just want to share the calendar inside organization, right?

I believe I may have been over complicating it - It seems, after some research, that the easiest way to make this change is to change the default user calendar permission from Free/Busy to Reviewer, rather than running a script against this. Am I mistaken or is there a better way?
Thanks all!

Hi crunch70,
Running the script is to bulk modify end user's calendar permission.
Otherwise, you have to ask end users to modify the permission by themselves, or you have to modify the permission for them one by one.
Please download and review the script and modify something to meet your needs(specially for the execs).

Easier than scripts.... Do it in the GUI! Granted, Microsoft's biggest failure as of late is to limiting the power of their admin guis, but they can still do some things efficiently.
1. Go to Default sharing policy properties, mailboxes tab
2. Select Add
3. Select everyone or multiple users, or ctrl+A [you can add more than one(or all) user(s) at a time.]
4. Select OK
Or if you want to exclude a few people, remove them after adding everyone, or de-select their names out of the list before adding.

to clarify, using the GUI from all I can find is ONLY for Federated domains. It has no effect on local user rights. (I tested this myself and saw no change, and in researching I discovered it doesnt apply locally)

Hey folks,
Is there a way to set this as a default for new users that we add instead of having to go back and edit the settings later?
Does this make sense?
