To Grant permissions to run agents on Exchange Server...
1) Make sure Microsoft Exchange Event Service is running.
2) In Exchange System Mgr, Expand the Folders container, right click on Public
Folders, and select View System Folders.
3) Expand Events Root container, right click the EventConfig_servername
container and select Properties.
4) Select Permissions, select Client Permissions, Add the user account or
exchange mail group using the add button.Set Client Permissions to Editor. In
our case,
since I did not want to add every user individually or by group, I just set
User:Default to Role:Editor, then everyone gets it.
If you are going to be adding the script from everyone's client, you need to do
this on each client to put the Agents tab there. I added all of mine from a
client logged in
as administrator, so I only did this once, on that client:
1) From OL Client, select Tools, Options, Other, Advanced Options, Add in
manager, and put a checkbox next to Server Scripting.

Got a question or two. We are just now setting up our exchange 2000 server
from scratch. We had a Exchange server 5.5 setup with the autoaccept script
working, but it was not in production, we were just doing testing with this.
To add the script to a mailbox in 5.5 we added it in the Agents tab inside the
inbox. When we setup exchange 2000 we didn't have this tab anywhere. What
steps do I need to take to install the script on a mailbox in Exchange 2000?
Thanks for you help so far. We have been looking at tons of sites trying to
find a solution to this and you're the first only good resource we have found.
I have a books that talk about event sinks, and such, but none of them tell me
how to install or where to write the script out.

Joel, we had this same need when we moved our company from a mainframe based
email system to Exchange 2000 last year. Also, setting the "Automatically
Accept Meeting and Process Cancellations" setting only works if the Outlook
client is running. So if a user was out of the office, nothing got accepted! We
are running the autoaccept script that has been modified to add some additional
features. Our clients are all OL2000.
1) The script detects the meeting request and checks the users calendar for
availabilility. If the user is available, it returns the acceptance to the
sender AND sends
the person who is being scheduled a meeting confirmation message to
their inbox so that they know they have been scheduled for a meeting.
2) In the case of recurring meetings, we do not do any checking for
conflicts, the script processes the meeting no matter what. We did this because
if you scheduled
a recurring meeting, for say 12 times a year, and 10 months down
the road, the user had a conflict, all 12 were rejected. So for recurring
meetings, everything
is automatically accepted.
When using the script:
You need to set everyone's default calendar permission to REVIEWER and do NOT
check the box for "Automatically Accept Meeting and Process Cancellations" .
You then install the script as an agent on everyone's inbox. Let me know if
you would like to see the script, you can email me directly.

We are currently just starting an Exchange 2000 server in our company. We have
been testing with an Exchange 5.5 server for a while, but we just recently got
a Windows 2000 Server w/ AD running in production and thought it would be nice
to have Exchange 2000 from the start. We are planning on using Outlook 2002
clients, but we may be able to make a switch to a previous release if the
solution will only work on say Outlook 97, or 2000. The biggest concern we are
having is that when we send out a meeting request to a person, we'd like that
person to accept it automatically. This is the closest we have got a working
solution: Setting the "Automatically Accept Meeting and Process Cancellations"
within the calander options makes it so that if we send a meeting request to a
person then that meeting will be accepted. The only problem is that meeting
request is sent to the deleted items. We really need it to stay in the inbox
so that the person is aware they have a meeting. PLEASE, if anyone out there
has a workable solution or has a fix for this please let me know. Thanks in
advance for you're help!
