Meeting requests NOT showing as tentative

[GillianHG]

Hello,

I've seen alot of posts for turning the tentative feature off but I need to
turn it ON.

I have a user group who needs meeting requests to show up in their calendar
as Tentative before they accept or even open the message. How do I 'turn on
the default' that when a user is online the meetings are automatically added
to the calendar as tentative before they have been opened or accepted? We
are running Outlook 2002.

Note: They do not want requests automatically accepted.
Note: My users are all online.

Thanks!
Gillian

Click Tools>Options>Calendar Options>Resource Scheduling and post the
settings you see.

The first option (automatically accept meeting requests and process
cancellations) is available but not selected. The other options are greyed
out (automatically decline conflicting, automatically decline recurring).

Please note the users do NOT want to automatically accept. They just want
meeting invitations to show as tentative in their calendar.

With this option unchecked, people SHOULD see meeting requests as tentative.
I can't suggest a mechanism that would subvert this. Perhaps someone else
can think of something.
