Setting up "End meetings early or start late" per mailbox via PowerShell.

Question

Hi Everyone,

I found out that "End meetings early or start late" can be set on the whole company via PowerShell https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/end-meetings-early-or-start-late-ebb4c4c9-6992-4ea7-9772-8b5883df8500, and I found as well that tis can be set up per mailbox leveraging windows registry. I am interested in setting this per particular maibox, however would like to avoid using registry - I saw that this can also be set up in OWA, so I am wondering - is there a wat to set this up on a mailbox using PowerShell/Graph?

Thanks,

Pawel

Answer 1

That's pretty product-specific, and not really a question about PowerShell. Adding an appropriate Exchange tag to your question would probably get you a better answer.

I doubt that the Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration would have that addition until either the next release of Exchange server, or maybe their next roll-up.

You might try using something like Fiddler to capture the setting of the option in OWA and then use Invoke-RestMethod to send the same data to the Exchange server.

Thank you, added tags. Well... long story why I haven't add it at the beginning - I was trying.

MS Graph also would be nice.

Tested with Fiddler and haven't found anything.

I test it with my mailbox, the Outlook client configuration and OWA configuration are independent. When you enable it from Outlook client, it will not sync to OWA.

So, this configuration cannot controlled from server side. Server configuration is a mailbox-based configuration, it will effect all client. However the "Shorten appointments and meetings" is a client-based function, you need to control it with registry.

I check it many times now, the change from Outlook client could sync to OWA immediately, it need take a long time to sync changes from OWA to Outlook client. Yes, they could sync correctly.

I write a script which used to check all ”Set“ commands, but only find the "Set-OrganizationConfig" could used to modify the "Shorten"

$datas = Get-Command | where{$_.Source -eq "tmp_qukm4qvp.g5t" -and $_.Name -like "Set-*"}  
  
foreach ($data in $datas){  
Get-ManagementRoleEntry -Identity *\$data | where{$_.Parameters -like "*Shorten*"}  
}  

The configuration of Exchange command control can be synchronized, but the settings that can be synchronized may not always be controlled by commands.
