Disable Exchange 2007 Meeting Forward Notification

Nobody likes a snitch, especially a spammy one that results in more messages in your inbox. With Exchange 2007 if you forward – manually or with a rule – a calendar appointment, Exchange will tattle send the meeting organizer a notification.

Your meeting was forwarded

XXXXXXX has forwarded your meeting request to additional recipients.

Disabling Notifications

Use the following PowerShell commands on your Exchange server to disable meeting forward notifications.

Disable External Meeting Forward Notifications

Set-RemoteDomain -MeetingForwardNotificationEnabled $false

Disable Internal Meeting Forward Notifications for a Single User

Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -Identity user_email@example.com -RemoveForwardedMeetingNotifications $true

Disable Internal Meeting Forward Notifications for All Mailboxes

Note that this only affects current users, new users will still have the default forwarding enabled.
