3.1.4.7.2.3 Sending an Auto Response

After creating the Meeting object, the client can automatically send a Meeting Response object to the organizer if the value of the PidTagScheduleInfoAutoAcceptAppointments property (section 2.2.12.2) in the organizer's Delegate Information object is nonzero. When sending the Meeting Response object, the client does so as specified in section 3.1.4.8. If the client chooses to automatically respond to Meeting Request objects, it also adheres to the requirements of the PidTagScheduleInfoDisallowRecurringAppts (section 2.2.12.3) and PidTagScheduleInfoDisallowOverlappingAppts (section 2.2.12.4) properties, accepting or declining meetings as appropriate.

The client MAY<48> skip automatic sending of Meeting Response objects to the organizer if the PidLidServerProcessed property (section 2.2.5.4) of the Meeting Request object is set to TRUE and the cpsSendAutoResponse bit of the PidLidServerProcessingActions property (section 2.2.5.5) is set to 1. If the client automatically responds to the Meeting Request object, it MAY<49> set the cpsSendAutoResponse bit of the PidLidServerProcessingActions property to 1.

When the client is acting for the delegate and the client supports sending automatic responses, it uses the values defined for the delegator and not for the delegate when determining whether to automatically respond to Meeting Request objects on behalf of the delegator.
