Is there a method in EWS Managed api similar to Get-CalendarProcessing method in PowerShell? - powershell

Question

Using PowerShell I can easily get know "BookInPolicy" state in the room by executing command Get-CalendarProcessing -Identity "ROOM_NAME" | Format-List
But question is perfoming something like that by using EWS manage api.
I spent a lot of time exploring this issue in the internet and unfortunately i found nothing. Is it realy posible to do? I hope you gave me some useful advices or solution.

Answer 1

By using the GetUserConfiguration EWS request you can obtain some of the BookInPolicy information.
E.g. by sending the following request for a meeting room's calendar
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
<soap:Header>
<t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2"/>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<m:GetUserConfiguration>
<m:UserConfigurationName Name="Calendar">
<t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="calendar">
<t:Mailbox>
<t:EmailAddress>room#company.com</t:EmailAddress>
</t:Mailbox>
</t:DistinguishedFolderId>
</m:UserConfigurationName>
<m:UserConfigurationProperties>All</m:UserConfigurationProperties>
</m:GetUserConfiguration>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
you will obtain a dictionary of information containing (among others) the following two fields
<t:DictionaryEntry>
<t:DictionaryKey>
<t:Type>String</t:Type>
<t:Value>AllBookInPolicy</t:Value>
</t:DictionaryKey>
<t:DictionaryValue>
<t:Type>Boolean</t:Type>
<t:Value>false</t:Value>
</t:DictionaryValue>
</t:DictionaryEntry>
<t:DictionaryEntry>
<t:DictionaryKey>
<t:Type>String</t:Type>
<t:Value>BookInPolicy</t:Value>
</t:DictionaryKey>
<t:DictionaryValue>
<t:Type>StringArray</t:Type>
<t:Value>75480a35-de48-46ad-8378-7c66137de736</t:Value>
<t:Value>498e21e9-1d88-4254-bea0-8d976c3e451d</t:Value>
<t:Value>08ffb1dd-64b8-438f-a924-ac3782975abf</t:Value>
</t:DictionaryValue>
</t:DictionaryEntry>
The downside is that I don't know how to query the IDs received for BookInPolicy.
You can obtain some permission information by using a GetFolder request
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
<soap:Header>
<t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2"/>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<m:GetFolder>
<m:FolderShape>
<t:BaseShape>AllProperties</t:BaseShape>
</m:FolderShape>
<m:FolderIds>
<t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="calendar">
<t:Mailbox>
<t:EmailAddress>room#company.com</t:EmailAddress>
</t:Mailbox>
</t:DistinguishedFolderId>
</m:FolderIds>
</m:GetFolder>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
and reviewing the returned permission set but I didn't find any way to connect the permission information to the BookInPolicy IDs. (sample permission below)
<t:CalendarPermission>
<t:UserId>
<t:SID>S-1-5-21-799214634-780288877-1039276024-11759</t:SID>
<t:PrimarySmtpAddress>group#company.com</t:PrimarySmtpAddress>
<t:DisplayName>group</t:DisplayName>
</t:UserId>
<t:CanCreateItems>false</t:CanCreateItems>
<t:CanCreateSubFolders>false</t:CanCreateSubFolders>
<t:IsFolderOwner>false</t:IsFolderOwner>
<t:IsFolderVisible>true</t:IsFolderVisible>
<t:IsFolderContact>false</t:IsFolderContact>
<t:EditItems>None</t:EditItems>
<t:DeleteItems>None</t:DeleteItems>
<t:ReadItems>FullDetails</t:ReadItems>
<t:CalendarPermissionLevel>Reviewer</t:CalendarPermissionLevel>
</t:CalendarPermission>
