How to block forwarding of meeting invites

Is there any way to keep someone from forwarding a meeting request onto another server. We have a need for that i our organization for one or two users. We are running Exchange 2010 SP1 and the users are using Outlook 2010. Our Forest will soon be upgrade to Windows 2008 R2. We have been talking about integrating RMS in our Forest after the upgrade. Just need to know if there is anything natively in Exchange or Outlook that can do this.

IRM will not be applicable for the Meeting-Requests.

Workaround:
========
if needed you can plan for greying-out the forward button @ the "Meeting-request"
But this will take-away the ability of forwarding any of the meeting-request then after.

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\DisabledCmdBarItemsList
String: TCID1
Value: 356

The above key is disabling the forward button for both the e-mails and meeting-requests.

I know this an old topic. Just wanted to put my two cents in just in case someone else is looking for a solution.

I found a solution that worked for me. One method is to create a form or the other is to use VBA.
