How can I set default permissions for the OL calendar to allow "everyone" to
be a "reviewer"?

Can this be done through a login script or group policy, and if so, how?

Or will I be stuck going to each machine in the company and manually going
to File, Folders, Calendar Properties, Permissions, then set "Default" to
"Reviewer"?

Get the free PFDavAdmin tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=635BE792-D8AD-49E3-ADA4
-E2422C0AB424
. It can manage mailbox folder permissions, as well as public folder permissions.

I don't want to have to re-run the tool when new users are added to the
domain and have mailboxes created.  I want this to be completely "automatic"
either through group policy or a login script (or a reghack, which I already
know how to incorporate into a GPO.)

Group policy can't write values to individual folders, which is where permission settings reside. If you want to try to write a script that does what PFDavAdmin does, docs start at http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange/  with discussions in the microsoft.public.exchange.development newsgroup.

You might also want to look at the tools listed at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/permissions.htm
