Cannot send updates for existing reoccurring meetings

Hello All,

Some users I support are having an issue when attempting to change, then
send out an update on existing reoccurring meetings in their managers
calendar. Currently we are running in a AD domain with Exchange 5.5 and
Outlook 2000 as the client. What's happening is this: When the original
reoccurring meeting was created it was done by a user who rights were not
correct for that calendar. Now that these rights have been modified to be
correct the reoccurring meeting does not allow an update to be sent such as a
date change or time change. When this is attempted the "Close & Save As" and
"Send" buttons are not shown. Another oddity is that if you look for the
attendee's information with in the meeting all it shows is the meeting
organizer's name and below that it states the attendee availability list is
unavailable even though it has been confirmed to be in an invited users
calendar. We've created another reoccurring meeting as a test which does work
properly so I'm thinking that it's happening because the users permissions at
the time the original was created were just enough to allow the meeting to be
valid but not updateable. Does this sound like a possible reason for this?
Also what I was thinking about for a fix would be to delete all occurrences
of the meeting and simply recreate and sent the new one out again. This would
have to be accepted again by those invited which is not my preferred way of
doing it but it may be the only way to correct the issue. Hopefully I've
explained this okay, it's not the easiest thing to describe. Any help with
this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Andreas,

The calendar items does seem to have become corrupted. How it happened
could not say but the permission issue could possibly be the issue since it
was setup before that was corrected. If your system has all the updates and
you are able to create other meeting without an issue then the next step I
would take would be to remove and recreate that appointment since it only
seems to be affecting that one.

Regards,
