How to free up the conference room calendar from terminated employees’ meetings? Here are the base line PowerShell commands for you to write a script.
To check if any meetings booked by employees in any of the conference rooms who no longer works in your office:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox | Search-Mailbox -Searchquery "kind:meetings from:<DisplayName>" -EstimateResultOnly | Select Identity,ResultItemsCount | ft -AutoSize
Note: Replace <DisplayName> in the command above with terminated user’s display name.
To Delete the meetings booked by the terminated employees:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox | Search-Mailbox -Searchquery "kind:meetings from:<DisplayName>" -DeleteContent -Force
Now the script to purge all meeting booked by terminated users.
Note: Change the SEARCHBASE options according to your AD environment. If you remove -SEARCHBASE option from Search-ADAccount command in the script, it will list all disabled accounts from entire domain.
