It seems I cannot make my users understand that they should un-tick the
option to send copies to delegates when they delegate permissions on
their calendar. As a result everyone gets meeting-requests from
everyone. To get rid of this problem I'm going to instruct them to use
the Folder List Calendar Properties Permissions instead.

As I do not wish to have everyone remove the current delegates
manually, I'm looking for a (VB-) script to delete all delegates for a
user. Can anyone help me with that?

TIA,
Wouter

That should be coded using LDAP or ADSI or some other server side coding
against the AD of your server. That's where the delegate permissions are
stored. They aren't available in the Outlook object model. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/adsi.htm for information on ADSI coding.

There will also be a hidden rule item that handles the forwarding of the meeting requests, etc. to the delegate. Should be possible to delete that with CDO 1.21 or Redemption.

New to this site. Just want to add a scenario of the same problem in this post and ask for feedback on how to avoid it in the future. When the person that was delegated access to another calander is terminated, look out. Disabling or removing the mailbox (Exchange 2007) will cause NDR's, or appointment confirmations going to the wrong calendar. Wondering how an administrator can see if delegates exist to avoid this problem, and why Microsoft hasn't made these accessbile on the server side so administrators can remove deletagion prior to disabling the account. If you had this happen the first time, then you know the nightmare trying to figure out what to do.
