Hello all,

"We need to make ALL calendar entries default to private and not let
anyone other than those who are invited see them"

This is the task we have. I have spent hours today researching. I
found countless articles on permissions...if I enable "read", you get
to see all the entries on the calendar--literally. If I were to turn
off read, they all disappear.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Rich

What you are describing is not the default exchange/outlook setup.  If people 
can see each other's entries, they must be sharing their calendars.

Yes, sorry. I should have elaborated further yesterday. These are
resources. What upper mgt wants is that only peeps in the meeting
request be able to see the juicy stuff inside of it--others be able to
view the placeholders on the calendar. If I turn off "read" on the
calendar, it goes blank. I tried scheduling an appt and meeting
request for overlapping times and it allowed me too without error.
That suprised me. That is why I thought something was wrong. If it's
just a case of them reviewing free/busy when scheduling the meeting, I
think I can convince them....The resouce is for a conference
room...it's not someone's personal calendar. However, you can see
anyone's personal calendar too. I think that's more AD. I think that
is how they wanted it year's ago. Not sure on that--before my time.

Is that plausible? Or do they have to deal with no entries on the
calendar to get the privacy they desire?

Thanks,
Rich

you might want to post this in the Exchange forum, but I think the ultimate 
solution is to use the resource for its intended purpose, to reserve meeting 
rooms, and use regular email to share the details of what is going on in the 
meeting.
