Remove-CalendarEvents for Exchange 2016

Has anyone heard if the new Remove-CalendarEvents PS command will ever be back ported to Exchange 2016. I believe it only works with 2019 on-prem and O365 if I'm not mistaken. Sure would be nice to ca...

    No, we do not plan to release that cmdlet on older Exchange servers -- it's only available in Exchange 2019 and Office 365.

How does it work when you have an Exchange Hybrid? 
Scenario:

User where you want to remove the calendarevents from is in ExO, but roommailboxes are still on-premises? 

Any difference with Hybrid Exchange 2016 vs Hybrid Exchange 2019?

 

I suppose the functionality in the back-end is in fact sending cancellation emails, so a hybrid scenario should just work?

 

A nice to have would be if you could customize the cancellation email so people are also informed why the meeting is cancelled.

 

Kind regards

The cmdlet can only be run against Exchange 2019 or Office 365 mailboxes that are still mail-enabled/active. When the cmdlet is run, the mailbox will send out cancellation messages to all attendees & rooms invited to the meeting. So rooms in Exchange 2016 would receive the message and have their calendar cleared.
