Re-Enable dismissed reminders in OL

User "A" was out on leave. User "B" with access to user "A" outlook was in user "A" Outlook and hit "Dismiss All" to all the reminders and now user "A" wants/needs all those back.

Is there any way of turning all reminders back on?

and even better...Is there a way of turning all reminders that were active as of a certain date back on?
 
I haven't found a solution, just a workaround, if you have to get this done one way or the other:

First I have to tell you, that all the names of the fields and tabs in Outlook are not necessarily identical to what I'm about to write. I'm using Outlook in Finnish and translating the terms into English as I go. So look for the meaning, not for the word. :)

Open the calendar. Choose view -> current view -> all meetings. Then you can sort the meetings based on the date they have been modified if you choose to sort by the column "last modified". Then look for the date the reminders were dismissed. This way you don't have to go through all the meetings in the calendar. Well, it can still be a big job, I know...

If all the columns you need, for example last modified, reminder etc. are not visible, you can add the columns from the view-menu. Choose view -> current view -> define views. Click the line of all meetings, then click Edit. After a new submenu has opened, you can edit columns and add the missing ones.

 
I finally figure out what you suggested last night. thanks. I did go about a slightly different way though.

customize current view
filter
advanced
field
modified
condition to "on" with the date the reminders were dismissed
add to list

then went through them and turned back on all reminders
