Administratively change calendar permissions
Environment:
Exchange 2007 RTM
Outlook 2007 RTM
Server 2003 SP1 A/D
I'm trying to find a way to administratively alter the default permissions level for user's calendars in our Exchange environment. By default, Outlook/Exchange sets the permissions level for a new account as "Free/Busy time". I would like to grant "Free/Busy time , subject, location" as the permissions level for the Default. I managed to find the PFDAVAdmin tool, but it does not appear that this tool incorporates the free/busy permissions levels that exist in Exchange/Outlook 2007 - there are no options for "Free/Busy time" in regards to calendar permissions.
Are there options in the PFDAVAdmin tool that I'm missing or am I looking in the wrong place? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You need to have a knowlegde of PowerShell and Active Directory/Exchange permissions, but once I got the tool working, I was able to change the default permission level for user's calendars using the GUI.

- Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same issue, for legal reasons I need to changes these settings on all users accounts and would like to know if there is a way to do this at the server level, regestry settings or maybe through GPOs so I don't have to address it from the Outlook client level.
