Have you tried to put the key under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar?

We used to set this through Endpoint manager, but after Microsoft changed the setting to either "end early" or "start late" i have not worked.
I have had a very long support case going with Microsoft, but still no luck. Now they are telling me it should be solved, after updating office, but it still does not work.
I tried setting the reg keys, which are set when i manually apply the setting in outlook, but it still does not apply. Only if i do it manually...
These are my reg keys, when the setting is manually set. But if i undo the setting in Outlook, and apply the manually, it will not work...
Has anyone had luck with this?
- IanCookeApr 29, 2021Copper ContributorJust adding my voice to this - as stated, changing the GUI in Outlook changes the registry keys as expected (and using RegistryChangesView supports this \ doesn't show anything else), but changing the keys (manually or via GPO) doesn't update Outlook. This also means we are restricted to the default time lengths in Outlook \ Options \ Calendar, and we wish to use bespoke durations.
