The Sumatra Utilities for Exchange are tools for managing calendars in Exchange 2000/2003. You can insert holidays for users, or check for double-bookings, clear meeting requests, as well as several other functions. This tool grew out of our calendar server migration technology.

Is there a version of this tool that works with Exchange 2007?
Not for public consumption.
What functionality from the Utilities are you most interested in for E2K7
I'm interested in being able to output all the double bookings for our conference rooms. We were having lots of double booking issues on 2003 and now that we are on 2007 we don't have the issue but we are still seeing issues arise from bookings that were done when the resources where on Exchange 2003.
Yeah, double-bookings. Perennial problem with Exchange. If you want to discuss this you can drop me an email zyg ATSIGN sumatra DOTCOM.
Is the data in holidays.csv in the same order as the Exchange *.hol file? Where can I find the CSV spec?
Documented here:
http://www.sumatra.com/su_doc.htm
Holiday file is a "CSV" comma separated value file (The four columns are holiday name, start date, end date, and an optional fourth column holiday type. Holiday type is F,B,T,O for Free, Busy, Tentative, Out of Office. The default is "B")
For example:
etc.
Zyg,
We emailed back and forth some time ago and I now do not have your email address. I was looking for the utility for Exchange 2007. Is this available yet. My usage for it has changed a little.
I'm looking for a way to find all meetings that have been scheduled by a specific user. The purpose would be that one someone leaves the company we could find all their appointments and cancel them. If they are used for a team purpose then have someone else on the team book the room.
Do you have this capability with Exhcange 2007?
For 2007? Yep -- we've been more focused on the "Broken Meeting" problem but we also did the terminated user (which is actually easier in fact). You can email me ZYG atsign SUMATRA dotcom
