How to centrally set the calendar access rights in Exchange 2010

If you want set default user permission to "Reviewer" for your entire organization, here it is a powershell script (replace italic word by your own configuration):

if (-not (Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"})){
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
}

$mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database"
$AccessRights = "Reviewer"

#Loop through all mailboxes
foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes) {

#Retrieve name of the user`s calendar
$calendar = (($mailbox.SamAccountName)+ ":\" + (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $mailbox.SamAccountName -FolderScope Calendar | Select-Object -First 1).Name)

#Check if calendar-permission for user "Default" is set to the default permission of "AvailabilityOnly"
if (((Get-MailboxFolderPermission $calendar | Where-Object {$_.User -like "Default"}).AccessRights) -like "AvailabilityOnly" ) {

Write-Host "Updating calendar permission for $mailbox...$calendar" -ForegroundColor Yellow

#Set calendar-permission for user "Default" to value defined in variable $AccessRights
Set-MailboxFolderPermission -User "Default" -AccessRights $AccessRights -Identity $calendar

}
}

PS: You need SP1 to do that

Action 'Update' could not be performed on object 'Default Offline Address List'.

To fix this:

a) Open Adsiedit.msc
b) Browse to Configuration, Services, Microsoft Exchange, , Address List Container, Offline Address Lists
c) Open properties of the Default Offline Address List on the right
d) Change siteFolderServer attribute to the DN of the correct Public Folder e.g.
