Hey Microsoft,, hoping you can help....

I encountered an interesting issue with one of my users who do a lot of work within Classic Outlook.

her issue is that sometimes people who send her meeting invites, they forget to add a reminder time for the meeting.

so after she accepts the meeting, she has to manually go to her calendar section, then find the meeting, open it, and manually set the reminder time.

I checked the Outlook settings for default reminder times, but that setting is only for meetings that the current user creates and sends out.

is there any script or batch file she can run in where ALL meetings are set to a specific time?

thank you

I got an answer from Microsoft the other day about making a VBA script but i was having some trouble running it.

they told me to post it here in this section

I followed the instructions and created the VBA, but when I try to run it through the 'developer' tab, nothing seemed to happen.

Can we set up a support call to walk me through the process?

    Hi @Vincent Ferranti ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    I checked the Outlook settings for default reminder times, but that setting is only for meetings that the current user creates and sends out.

    As Jade Liang-MSFT mentioned in this thread, you can check how the default reminder works:

    is there any script or batch file she can run in where ALL meetings are set to a specific time?

    If you need the help of script, we will add "Office Development" tag.

    Hope to help you!
