Outlook Calendar Issues with Public Folders

[mdlister]

Afternoon, someone has raised an issue with our upgrade to office 2007
(currently in the middle of upgrading 8000 users from 2000 > 2007) that
when someone sends a meeting request to an address in the GAL the user
goes to open and accept the invite and it says at the top of the
email.

"As the meeting organizer you do not need to respond to the meeting."

and all the buttons are greyed out, however the message clearly says
from someone else, this does not happen when the invite is sent
directly to the user but when using a distrubtion list which is a
public folder, we use this as we have team leaders that work shift work
so the invite goes to the public folder and who ever is on attends the
meetings, one user is 2007 and the other is 2000 and this has not been
a problem before.

I have confirmed its the public folders as i got the user to email
another public folder with a calendar invite and when i open it it says
i am the organizer.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940403/ details some ways of resolving
this but i have tried this and it does not seem to do anything.

Has anyone else seen this and managed to resolve this issue? I've
thought we can always create another Dist list with the users in it and
sent the invite to that but that would then rely on selecting the
correct address from the GAL.

Thanks
