Lead hours for scheduling a Teams Room/Meeting Room

Hi TimLB,

While there may not be a specific built-in cmdlet for this, you can create a PowerShell script to periodically check and decline or remove meetings that are booked within the minimum lead time.

# Define the minimum lead time in hours
$minimumLeadTimeHours = 24

# Get the current time
$currentTime = Get-Date

# Connect to Exchange Online (if you're using Exchange Online)
# Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName email address removed for privacy reasons -ShowProgress $true

# Get the resource calendar
$resourceCalendar = Get-Mailbox -Identity "email address removed for privacy reasons" | Get-CalendarFolder -Identity calendar

# Get all the meetings in the resource calendar
$meetings = Get-CalendarItem -CalendarFolder $resourceCalendar -ResultSize Unlimited

foreach ($meeting in $meetings) {
$startTime = $meeting.Start
$timeDifference = ($startTime - $currentTime).TotalHours

# Check if the meeting is within the minimum lead time
if ($timeDifference < $minimumLeadTimeHours) {
# Decline or remove the meeting
# Decline example: $meeting.Decline()
# Remove example: $meeting | Remove-CalendarEvent
}
}

# Disconnect from Exchange Online
# Disconnect-ExchangeOnline -Confirm:$false
