Meetings

[Guest]

One of our users configured his Outlook to sent all his items (including
Calendar items) to a pst file. Seeing that this should not be done in the
company, I copied all the Calendar items back to his "main" Calendar.
However, now all his reoccuring meetings have a problem. If one of these
reoccuring meetings is cancel or changes are made to them, this user's
Calendar still has the meeting on his Calendar even after "remove from
calendar".

Any resolutions on this?

Are you using an Exchange server? What version of Outlook? Where is this
person's delivery location? Did you try a new mail profile?

We are using Exchange 2000 and the client is Outlook 2003. New meetings are
working fine. The user can click "remove from calendar" and the meeting is
removed from the user's Calendar.

The problem here is the old meetings/reoccuring meetings that were copied
over from another Calendar. For example, when a reoccuring meeting is
cancel, the user gets a email and clicks on "remove from calendar" button.
This suppose to remove the meeting from the calendar but not in this user's
case. Could it be that some permissions/linkings were removed with the
copying process?

I don't think so. My admittedly limited experience with copying between
shared calendars seems to indicate that access to the item itself is
controlled by the folder permissions in which the item is placed, so it you
copy an item from some other calendar into one of yours, you will have owner
permission because individual items don't have permissions associated with
them. Perhaps an MVP can validate (or refulte) this impression.

Thanks.
