MORE INFORMATION

To implement the different settings to disable meeting request support, obtain the hotfix mentioned above. Then, modify the Exchconn.ini file and add the following line:

MtgRequestSupport = No
When the parameter is placed under the [LME] section, it turns off meeting request support for both the Exchange PROFS Connector and the Exchange Notes Connector.

When the parameter is placed under the [LME-PROFS] section, it does not turn off meeting request support for the Exchange Notes Connector.

When the parameter is in place, all meeting objects such as Accept/Tentative/Decline responses are downgraded to normal messages. When the parameter is set to YES or does not exist, functionality is not changed.

The INI parameter/switch is for both Notes and PROFS. The switch can be turned on specifically for a particular connector, depending on the location of the parameter in the INI file. For example:
[LME]
MtgRequestSupport = No
This will turn off all meeting request support for ALL connectors.
[LME-PROFS]
MtgRequestSupport = No
In this case, only the Exchange PROFS Connector maps a meeting request to a normal message, and if there is an Exchange Notes Connector running on the same computer, the Exchange Notes Connector still supports the meeting request properly.
