Reminder difficulties with Outlook 2007

[Justin G. Mitchell]

When I send a meeting request with no reminder to another user with
Outlook 2007, their reminder field is populated with whatever their
default reminder might be. If I send a meeting request with a
reminder, their calendar populates the reminder field with the time I
set.

If I send the meeting request with no reminder and it is accepted in
Outlook 2003, it keeps the no reminder I have set. This is what I want
to happen.

Is there a way to change this behavior in Office 2007 so that it
mimics the behavior of 2003?

All calendars have been set with a no default reminders.

Sounds right to me.

reminder, their calendar populates the reminder field with the time I
set.

I think this is the mistake. When you send something to me, I want my
defaults to override whatever you have set for the reminder. I should
control my notifications, not you.

No to me and my director.

The problem is that all the received and approved appointments have reminder. This independently happens of the configuration of reminders of the emitter and the receiver. We have deactivated the reminder by system policy and continues happening.

My director wants that I control his reminders not he. ;-)

Sounds right to me.

Their default is no reminder and the time in the dropdown box is
grayed out. Whatever is in the box though (o minutes, 5, 15 etc) is
what gets set as the reminder.

I think this is the mistake. When you send something to me, I want my
defaults to override whatever you have set for the reminder. I should
control my notifications, not you.

This is where the breakdown occurs then, their default is set to None.

Thank you for your feedback,
