Canceling Meeting Requests Across Multiple Users Calendars

J

JR Robinson

Ok, so to make a long story short, I had roughly 60-70 meetings that were set
up in Novell Groupwise. Our company then converted to Microsoft Outlook a
couple weeks later and in the conversions, may of the rooms I had booked did
not transfer over correctly.

To correct this problem, I had to manually send out new meeting requests to
each participant and meeting resource.

This created duplicate entries (usually 2 copies but in some cases 3-4
copies of a single meeting).

To further complicate matters, due to the problems in the transfer of said
meetings from Groupwise to Outlook, a number of those resources had become
claimed by other users and I had to change meeting locations for a number of
the entires to compensate.

What I need to do now is remove the duplicate copies so that the other
participants have the correct room information on their calendar. The other
participants have already been informed of the fact adjustments were made. I
have attempted to cancel a couple of meetings without sending notices to the
other participants and found the meeting was only removed from my calendar,
and everyone else still showed the duplicate meetings on their own.

Is there a way for me to cancel the duplicate meetings across all calendars
without spamming the inboxs of the other participants with a slew of meeting
cancelation requests?
....approximately 100 per person... 10 participants... 1000 spam messages to
which the recipients already know the information and will have to manually
click cancel if an alternative method is not possible...
