Updates to Exchange Free / Busy Time

[Guest]

I normally run outlook on my laptop connected to a POP/SMTP server. I am
currently at a client site and have added an account on their exchange
server. All works well - except - the free/busy times on the exchange server
is being updated from my personal account calendar, not the calendar/mailbox
connected to the exchange account. I can schedule/recieve appointments on the
exchange account just fine. However, they do not update the free/busy time
posted on exchange. However, when I update my personal calendar, the
free/busy times are updated in exchange.

All help is appreciated!

If you have the POP3 and exchange account in the same profile, what is the
default delivery location (PST or Exchange mailbox)?

Hmm... if "mailbox - <username>" is the default delivery location then lets
go back to the original post. You mentioned Personal vs. Exchange calendar.
The post isn't clear if both of these calendars are in your Exchange mailbox
or split between PST and Exchange mailbox. (I was thinking later where a PST
file was default delivery location and it was publishing up the calendar
info from said PST.)

Since this doesn't appear to be the case, the free/busy info should be
coming from the default calendar folder located in the Exchange mailbox.
Did you use this default folder for personal items and then create a new
folder for work? If this is the case, then reverse the logic on your part
where the default calendar is for work and use the new folder for personal
stuff.
