Use the Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration cmdlet to apply calendar settings for users using Microsoft Office Outlook Web App calendars. This affects how the user's calendar looks and how reminders work in Outlook Web App. This also affects settings that define how meeting invitations, responses, and notifications are sent to the user.

Syntax

Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration -Identity <MailboxIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DefaultReminderTime <TimeSpan>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-RemindersEnabled <$true | $false>] [-ReminderSoundEnabled <$true | $false>] [-ShowWeekNumbers <$true | $false>] [-TimeIncrement <FifteenMinutes | ThirtyMinutes>] [-WeekStartDay <Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WorkDays <None | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Weekdays | WeekendDays | AllDays>] [-WorkingHoursEndTime <TimeSpan>] [-WorkingHoursStartTime <TimeSpan>] [-WorkingHoursTimeZone <ExTimeZoneValue>]

Detailed Description

The Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration cmdlet was created primarily to allow users to manage their calendar settings. However, administrators who have the Organization Management or Recipient Management management roles may configure the calendar settings for users by using the Exchange Management Shell.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Calendar configuration" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
