Public Calendar Not Removing Appointment Updates

[readynasgroupbuy]

We use a mail enabled Calendar on our exchange server to maintain group
events. If a user creates a group appointment, he/she invites the
"Company Calendar" to the meeting. If that meeting is later updated or
canceled by the originator, the coresponding event on the group
calendar does not update the original event on the group calendar.
Rather, it creates a new event with the updated information; and marks
the old event as "out of date". But it does not remove the original
event, which is the desired result? I'm left with two entries on the
public calendar (or 1 if I detete the event).

Does anyone have a solution? It seems the group calendar is out of
synch?

Thanks

That's expected behavior. If you want a calendar folder that can process updates, you'll need to use a mailbox Calendar folder, not a public folder.

Thanks for the response Sue. I was starting to go crazy trying to
figure it out. I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behing leaving
out of date events on the public calendars, but Im' sure that someone
somewhere gave it a lot more thought that I did.

Looks like I'll be setting up a mailbox calendar.

Thanks again.
