Automatically Accept Meetings

[dcurtis]

Using Outlook 2003, Windows XP - User is looking to automatically accept all meeting requests. We are not using shared calendars and the requests are not coming from a resource manager. Is it possible, is so, how?

Yes this is possible.......

Launch Outlook, and select Tools > Options. In the window that appears, click the Calendar Options button. In the next window that appears, click the Resource Scheduling button. This will present another window that allows for automatic processing of meeting requests.

Hope this helps........

I tried that but it doesn't seem to work. The situation is someone will send the user a meeting request (usually just to indicate they will be out of the office or something like that) and the user wants that to just appear on his calendar. As of right not he has to accept each one individually.

Where I work, we indicate holidays by each person entering it as an all-day 'apointment', without including anyone else. That's then visible to everyone in the shared calendar. Isn't that feasible for you?

Not really, since it may just be an hour or 2 meeting, or it could be an all day event. And we are not sharing calendars (IT won't allow it right now?!?!?!?!?).

I do not share calendars either, but mine works with the setup as listed above. Perhaps there is something that your sys-admins have restricted within your Outlook or Exchange servers. Wish I could be more help........
