Meetings not appearing on invitees calendars as tentative
 

Hi,

We use Outlook XP and 2003, with Exchange 2003. We have a problem where
people's calendars are not automatically updating with meetings that they
have been invited to, but not accepted or declined. It seems to be related
to calendar permissions. That is, people have permissions set to "None" for
Default and anonymous. When I change the permissions to "Contributor" in my
Outlook, I am able to see tentative meetings. What should the permissions be
set to? I've read a few different things... Also, is there a way to make a
global change for everyone's calendars?

Thanks!

Jeff

This is only actually in Exchange 2007.
In 2003 if a person is invited to a meeting it only apears in their
inbox. Only when they take some action on it is the appointment
created in the users calendar. That's one of the big wow/selling type
factors in 2007.

Thanks for your reply, Mark!

How come I am able to see tentative meetings if I change the Default and
Anonymous permissions to "Contributor"? Is there a way to set these
permissions without opening up everyone's Outlook preferences?

Thanks!

See tentative meetings where? In your own Calendar folder? Someone else's?

Get the free PFDavAdmin tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...4-E2422C0AB424. It can manage mailbox folder permissions, as well as public folder permissions.
