Our upper management wants us to stop allowing peoeple to set meetings as private in resource rooms. Is there some way to disallow private meetings? Or if not, maybe a way to disable the private button in Outlook? I can't find a way to do either.

Hi Aubrey, We do not have a method to reject private meeting request. Nevertheless, Exchange does not have a method to remove Private flag: RemovePrivateProperty Set the RemovePrivateProperty parameter to $true to clear the private flag for incoming meeting requests. For your reference: Set-MailboxCalendarSettings http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996340(EXCHG.80).aspx Mike

Hi Mike I have set up a meeting room to remove private flag as suggested but the meetings are still being created as private in the room. Can you please advise why it does not work? Our CCR Exchange servers are on Exchange 2007 SP1. Please see below the results of the meeting rooms settings.
