Meeting requests

[Guest]

Hi,
i need to send a meeting request to multiple Outlook 2003 calendars. The
meeting needs to be forced into the recipients calendars without giving them
the option to decline. Does anybody have any ideas? We're running Exchange
2003.

Steve,

I'm looking for exactly the same information as you.

I've tried creating a '.ics' file, with options like "ATTSTAT=ACCEPTED",
"PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED / CONFIRMED", but without any success.

I'd be interessed to know if you get a reply for an eventual solution.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Milly.

I am still looking for a solution and looking at my version of Outlook (in
French), I have found (I think) options that permit automatic meeting
validation with user input.

In the menu sequance 'Tools', 'Options', 'Calendar Options', 'Ressource
Planning', there is the possibility to check a box that permits automatic
acceptant of meeting requests. Could this be the start of a possible
solution for me. What I would do is that I would send the request from a
known sender in order that these meeting requests be automatically inserted
without user input ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thanks Milly, thought this might be the case, but didn't know if there was a
way round it.

So Steve, you're stopping your research here or not ?

Has Milly a solution for us in order to accomplish what we are trying to do
? Or will we have to get a Microsoft Qualified developper to write something
specific for us ?

Can we have a reply on what you think please Milly ?

Thanks in advance.

Having looked through this discussion group, I've found information on 'Auto
Accept Agent' through a document called 'Auto Accept Agent Deployment and
Administration Guide'.

Could this be a solution ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Contact one and offer them a contract.
