Hi there,

We have a specific user requirement to auto accept meeting requests only
from some selected organizers, but I don't see any choice in Rule Wizard for
meeting requests. Does anyone have an idea, please?

Thanks
Richard Poon

you need to use the rule for new mail using specified form' and select
meeting requests as the form.

Hi Diane,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried that and can select the Meeting
Request form. However, I don't find an action item that allows me to
automatically accept the meeting and send out response. Any further idea?

Thanks again.

try the run a script option - place this code (written by Outlook MVP Michal
Bednarz) in the VBA editor and select it as the script. I haven't tested it
fully yet - it works in Outlook 2007 and should work in older versions that
support the run a script action.


Sub AutoAcceptMeetings(oRequest As MeetingItem)

If oRequest.MessageClass "IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request" Then
Exit Sub

Dim oAppt As AppointmentItem
Set oAppt = oRequest.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)

Dim oResponse
Set oResponse = oAppt.Respond(olMeetingAccepted, True)
oResponse.Display

End Sub

Hi Diane,

I have tested the way you suggested and it works. However, it is a client
side rule and requires user's Outlook running. Is it possible to make it a
server side rule?

Thanks

No. You'd need an event sync on the server and it would be more complicated.
