We are having an issue with certain users not being able to receive
Microsoft Outlook Meeting Requests. We are using Microsoft Exchange 2003
and our users are using Windows XP and Outlook 2003.

I first heard about the problem a few days ago (I am not sure if this is a
new problem or just has been noticed). One of our VP's sent out an Outlook
Meeting Request to 5 or 6 people. 3 of those people did not get the meeting
request. These 3 people also happen to be VP's who have secretaries who
have mailbox access and sit and monitor the VP's email. So in essence, it
is possible for one such VP to have his mailbox open and for 2 secretaries
to have the VP's mailbox open too.

In my testing I can send an email to any of these 3 users and it shows up in
everyone's (VP's and both secrataries) Outlook immeditaly like it should.
If I send any of these 3 users an Outlook Meeting Request it never shows up
in their Outlook. I can go into the Exchange Message Tracking Center gui
and verify that my Outlook Meeting Request actually did arrive at their
mailbox store. I suspect that it has to do with multiple people having a
single mailbox open but I have no proof. Has anyone else seen this?


Thanks,
Fred

- Do the secretaries have delegate access?
- In Outlook | Tools | Options | Delegates - have the original
recipients/owners of mailbox checked the option to send meeting requests
only to Delegates?

I believe that you have hit the nail on the head. I will need to verify but
it sure looks like you are correct!!!!


Thanks Much,
