Looking for Exchange 2007 Powershell command/cmdlet to modify default free/busy permission on a user account
By default, all OWA users in the same organization can see other users' free/busy information when they try to schedule a meeting with each other. But my boss wants to disable that from them whenever a new user is created.
I'm not sure if this is even possible to do through PowerShell cmdlets. I was advised that I might have to use EWS in order to set this permission through MAPI.dll library. But MSDN documents also mention that Powershell was supposed to be able to do everything,
and I already have all the code that runs Powershell commands, so I really want to find out if there's a way to do this through command line.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

If a user is able to see the free/busy infos depends on the calender
permission. As a result you have to configure different groups who can
see this infos and who can not see:

Till now my powershell is not able to make me a coffee at the morning
- perhaps someone can solve it! ...but no java solution please! ;-)
Regarding to your question I found this script:

Perhaps you can use some parts of it...

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your answer! I have settled my mind with EWS+Powershell now.
