After furious head scratching, Joe Grover asked:
| Are there any 3rd party addins that you recommend? The Exchange 2000

| anything on the server itself that would indicate what addins are
| present. Thanks!

|| There are no changes in functionality. That's the way it's always
|| been in Outlook unless you are using a 3rd party addin to allow
|| reminders in other folders. Even then the hard-coded warning that
|| the reminder won't appear is still there for appointments and tasks,
|| it's hard-coded and can't be removed.
||
|| Outlook 2007 does allow reminders in a folder under Calendar for
|| example, but that's the first version that does so.

||| We have just performed a migration from an old Windows 2000 Active
||| Directory domain with an Exchange 2000 server to a new Windows 2003
||| Active Directory domain with an Exchange 2003 server. EXMERGE was
||| used to migrate mail between the two servers (they're different
||| forests).
|||
||| One of my users is wondering why she is unable to set a reminder in
||| a calendar she's created. On the old server she had her normal
||| Outlook Calendar, and she had a sub-calendar called Scheduling
||| Calendar underneath it.
|||
||| Previously when creating an appointment in the Scheduling Calendar
||| she was able to set a reminder for the appointment with no problem.
|||
||| On the new server she created this calendar again, however when she
||| checks the Reminder box and goes to save the appointment she gets
||| the following error box:
|||
||| "The reminder for "test appointment" will not appear because the
||| item is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?"
|||
||| Creating reminders for items in the normal Outlook Calendar or in
||| her Tasks works fine, but not in this user-created calendar.
|||
||| Is there something special that needs to be done with the calendar?
||| Or is this a difference between Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003? I
||| exported the calendar from the old server and imported it into the
||| user's mailbox but that didn't make any difference (and I didn't
||| expect it to; just a stab in the dark).
|||
||| Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
