outlook 2003 group calendar

[Guest]

Our organization runs Exchange Server 2003 where we have a group calendar in
a public folder for everyone to view. When one user schedules an appointment
on the group calendar, sometimes the reminders and invitations appear in a
different user's mailbox that the appointment doesn't involve. For example,
if 'Bob' puts a doctor's appointment on the group calendar, the reminder's
for the appointment will pop in 'John's' mailbox for some unknown reason.
The user who schedules the appointment does not invite any other users or
calendars. Does anyone know of a reason why an appointment reminder would
pop up in another user's mailbox that it should not?

We are having the same problem. A calendar was created and shared with four
others. Now whenever anything is sent to one of the 5, it goes to all 5
people (the originator plus 4). Any suggestions - our IT folks cannot figure
out what is happening either. Thanks! llchevy56

Are delegates involved in either of the two scenarios mentioned?

Milly - In my case, I think there may be. Will check once I am back in the
office on Tuesday. I do know that 3 of the 5 are administrative people who
share the 2 managers calendars. llchevy56

There are no delegates involved in my scenario. Basically, what happens in
my scenario is a user will create an appointment on their personal calendar
and invite our group calendar so it will show up on there also. We use this
group calendar so employees can see when other employees may or may not be
available for meetings or appointments. The problem is that reminder's for
one user's meeting or appointment are showing up on another user's calendar
without inviting that user. This has been happening since we went to Outlook
2003 quite a while back.
