Private Meetings: Outlook Settings for Room Calendars

Ensure that private meetings are marked as private in both your Outlook Room Calendar and RICOH Spaces

Updated over a month ago

In order to ensure private meetings show correctly as private in Outlook and within RICOH Spaces, we recommend the following settings:

Change the setting of the room calendar. The user can change the setting using PowerShell: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/set-calendarprocessing?view=exchange-ps

Recommended settings would be the following for every Microsoft room:

  • AddOrganizerToSubject : False

    • avoid adding host name to subject

  • DeleteSubject : False

    • avoid to delete subject

  • RemovePrivateProperty : False

    • avoid to remove private flag

  • DeleteComments : False

    • avoid to remove body

Command to apply above changes to all rooms.

Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails "RoomMailbox" | foreach {Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity $_.PrimarySMTPAddress -RemovePrivateProperty $False -DeleteSubject $False -AddOrganizerToSubject $False -DeleteComments $False}
