I would like to see when I accepted an Outlook Calendar Invite (Outlook item). I know that I have made two "Accept" clicks yesterday and one today for the same Calendar Invite. How can I find the timestamp for when I accepted these two invites for the same meeting?
I'm not sure if coding is required or if there is a view on Outlook that would have this information. So any and all suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.
There would be an IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Resp.Pos meeting item in your Sent Items folder. You can look at its date.

I am writing a script to reply to AppointmentItem in outlook. The AppointmentItem does not expose ReplyAll (or Reply) method, and that is only available for MeetingItems. However, all the events on a user's calendar are stored as AppointmentItem class, even if there are multiple attendees. I am wondering how I can ReplyAll to an AppointmentItem? Is there any way to get the associated MeetingItem?
PS: When I right click on an AppointmentItem in Calendar it does enable ReplyAll, so there should be a way to do this.

I have a team that rotates support but needs to send out calendar invites with a non changing group of users it needs to be sent to and CC'ed to. Everything I find online is for personal appointments and not calendar events. I have a template for the subject and body of the email and would like a template that users can just click and open the event in outlook and change the dates only.
Maybe I misunderstood your question, but the iCalendar format is only intended to propagate an existing event. For what you want, you need to create an event.
The problem that I face: I currently use a product that displays calendar items on an iPad outside of conference rooms. I have all the room resources set up and everything works brilliantly except if I try to end the event early from this display.
The reason it doesn't end: When User A schedules a meeting and adds the room Conference Room as a resource, and Conference Room accepts, the meeting is still owned by the organizer, or in this case User A. Because of this, the room itself can not edit times on an event, only the organizer can.
The question: Is there any way, to have the Room auto accept the meeting, and also be able to edit the event?
Please note, I have tried this with Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013, and Office 365. The servers have been both on-premises and hosted.
No the only valid editor of a Meeting is the organizer for the reason that each copy of the meeting stored in the Attendees mailboxes is a separate item in the Exchange Mailstore. Eg Even if the Organizer modifies the appointment and doesn't send out Meeting updates the changes they make won't show on the attendees (or Room Mailbox) calendar until the updates are sent and accepted. This is fundamental to the way in which Appointments work if you need to change a meeting for some reason you may want to look at impersonating the Owner of the Appointment in EWS. The one thing the Room mailbox (or any attendee) could do is propose a new meeting time which would be a separate message that would sent back to the Organizer who then once they accepted would send out a normal Meeting update to all attendees.

Outlook 2010 and 2010+ versions seem to remove meeting request emails from your inbox once you accept or decline the invite.
How do I prevent these from being removed and keep them in my inbox?
Usually the meeting invite also contains useful information or things that need to be followed up later.
In Outlook, this is found under the File tab. Click Options, then Mail, and scroll down to the Send messages section. Uncheck the box next to Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding
The provided "ounce of prevention" instructions are spot on! However, when faced with the immediate dilemma of needing the email... one goes to the Deleted Items folder to find the email, BUT (because the invitation email may be prevented from opening by Outlook) one must click Reply to then be able to once again read (and hyperlink-click) the original email entries.
I just did this, but with the Outlook web (Office 365) it's a little different now. To stop calendar invites being deleted do the following:
Go to the settings wheel > View all Outlook settings > Calendar > Events and invitations > uncheck the box 'delete invitations and responses that have been updated'
Our java application generates ICalendar files using ical4j, and sends them out to users as part of an HTML e-mail notification. A couple of users (the Organizers of the meeting) report that the the "Accept", "Reject", etc. buttons for the meeting are grayed out, and unclickable. The meeting is not added to the Organizer's calendar.
How can I force the meeting to be added for the Organizer?
I configured the server temporarily to send the .ics file as an attachment (instead of inline), so that I could run it through a web-based ICalendar validator. The validator gave me a warning that the Version property was supposed to be the first property, but didn't find any other problems.
The ICalendar works normally for every user except the organizer.
I was able to reproduce the issue on my own Outlook account. I noticed that if I send the meeting notice through a gmail mail server, it works normally; but, when it comes from our internal Outlook server, it doesn't get added to the calendar.
A message is shown underneath the grayed-out meeting controls: "As the meeting organizer, you do not need to respond to this meeting."
Example ICalendar file generated by our system:

Edit:
I tried adding the meeting organizer as an "Optional to" participant. No dice; same behavior.
Edited the question again to reflect my progress on the issue.
It looks like this issue might be solvable by applying a HotFix to Outlook.
Description of the Outlook 2007 post-Service Pack 1 hotfix package: January 28, 2008
It seems it could be related to setting ExtractOrganizedMeetings in the registry. Worth a try.
See:
You cannot accept an invitation that
is in a third-party calendar format
in Outlook 2007
As the meeting organizer, you cannot
accept a meeting request in Outlook
2007 if you used a public Calendar
for the meeting that you created
Add an ORGANIZER to the ICS file. Apparently Outlook 2007 assumes the organizer is the current user whereas previous versions did not.
