Hi everyone,

as far I have seen, this thread did not include a solution for Office Cloud Policies. We are currently upgrading our MS365 Apps version from 2102 to 2108 in Semi annual Enterprise channel and therefore ran into the issue described here. Since MS has added the possibility to start meetings late in between these two versions, the cloud policy "https://admx.help/?Category=Office2016&Policy=outlk16.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows::L_EnableEndEarly" stopped working in version 2108 SAEC. The new cloud policy which has to be configured is called "https://admx.help/?Category=Office2016&Policy=outlk16.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows::L_ShortenEventsType" The values (minutes) which meetings end early or start late should stay valid In case you have defined it.
All values can be found under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Cloud\Office\16.0\outlook\options\calendar]
