Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You create a meeting request in Microsoft Outlook.

  • You configure Outlook not to send reminders. For example, you set the Reminder status to None in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

  • You send the meeting request to a recipient.

  • The mailbox for the recipient is hosted on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.

In this scenario, a reminder is set to the default value of 15 minutes when the recipient receives the message.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, follow the appropriate steps for your program version.


Exchange Server 2010


  1. Start Notepad.

  2. In the new file, type the following.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
    <storeDriver>
    <parameters>
    <add key="AlwaysSetReminderOnAppointment" value="false" />
    </parameters>
    </storeDriver>
    </configuration>
  3. Click File, and then click Save.

  4. In the File name box, type StoreDriver.config.

  5. In the Save as type box, click All Files.

  6. Save the file in the %ExchInstallFolder%\bin folder.

  7. Restart the Transport service.

  8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 on all servers that are running Exchange Server 2010 and that have the Hub Transport role.

The ability to use the AlwaysSetReminderOnAppointment value is dependent on the following Set-CalendarProcessing parameters that are configured for the receiving user’s mailbox:

  • AddNewRequestsTentatively (Default = True)

  • ProcessExternalMeetingMessages (Default = False)

These two settings must be set to True by running the following command.
Set-CalendarProcessing < alias > -AddNewRequestsTentatively:$True -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages:$True In Outlook Web App (OWA), these parameters can also be configured by users to have the following effects:

  • Automatically create meeting requests that are marked as Tentative on the calendar.

  • Automatically process requests and responses from external senders.
