Disable/Remove the Outlook Calendar folder


Environment:  Single Exchange 2000 Server with SP3 and Post SP3 patches.  Clients using Outlook 2002, 2003, and OWA.

I have a user that has a standard ordinary account.  Management has now requested that I disable the calendar on this account so other staff cannot invite this account to meetings.    

Correct me if I'm wrong but since the Calendar is a standard folder there's no way to either delete it or disable it, correct?  

I've already cleared out the calendar folder using Exmerge, set the Free/busy options to post 0 months of information, and removed any additional permissions other staff had on the calendar.  Is there anything else I can do further disable the calendar on this account?

BTW - I am talking about the standard Calendar folder, not one created by the user.

That is correct.  There is not a way to disable the calendar function for a user.
Even if you set this calendar to auto-deny meeting requests, the user could go back and change it to be on.

That's what I thought.  thanks.

BTW - how do you set the calendar to auto-deny requests in Outlook 2002?

This will review how you can disable direct booking for resources, preventing them from being booked as a resource.  Resources don't get meeting requests.

Nice.  This will help a lot.

Good luck!  
If that does not work you may need a direct line with the IBM Business Genie. *sarcasm*
