'End appointments and meetings early' feature now broken in Office Cloud Policy Service
Joe Savage this is very insightful. I have been trying to set this up for our business but have realized I am really a novice with respect to deploying registry settings via GPO. My hope is MS will fix/unbreak the policy at some point. I will keep trying the registry adjustment with what you have written. Thank you.
This is a new registry key
Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
Name:ShortenEvents
Value:End_Early
Type:StringHave you tried to put the key under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar?
- Hi
We used to set this key via SCCM: EndEventsEarly with a value of 1. This doesn't work anymore.
If I use your suggested registry key, it doesn't change the setting in Outlook. If I make changes manually in Outlook, the key changes. But not the other way around. Any ideas?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar]
"EndEarlyShort"=dword:00000005
"EndEarlyLong"=dword:0000000a
"ShortenEvents"="End_Early"There is an issue:
When using “New Appointment,” the default works, but it does not when using “New Teams Meeting.”
Workaround:
Create a regular Outlook meeting and convert it to Teams meeting
