Hello,

A couple of our users are having some odd issues with outlook 2003 w/
Exchange 2007. When you create a new appointment and invite a resource
the person can most of the Free/Busy times but some do not display.

It seems like only certain meeting times are not displayed but most
show up.If you look at the resources calendar it shows up.

I have

- Checked to make sure the users are not showing the time as Free
- Made sure that the missing meetings had the 15 minutes to be updated
even though they were created weeks prior
- Given the users full access to the resources calendar so they can
view it as a shared calendar
- Cleaned out the users Free/Busy cache by running the command
"outlook /Cleanfreebusy"

The only thing that seems to "work" is to give the user full access
then open that resources shared calendar, then open a meeting request
as the resource. Look at the scheduling tab. Close without saving.
Create a meeting request as that user. This seems to finally load the
correct time for that day or meeting. This does not work for future
events though, if you look 2+ days past some items still do not show.

This worries me because I can not do this for all users.

A couple things to note:

The resource was created as a user in Exchange 2003. There is a person
in charge of accepting and rejecting the invites to that user/
resource. This causes trouble when looking at the schedule then
scheduling meetings before the invite is accepted.

We recently upgraded to Exchange 2007 from 2003. Clients are still
using Outlook 2003.


Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Did you upgrade your resource mailboxes?

I converted the mailbox to a resource mailbox using

Set-Mailbox Conferenceroom -Type Room

I did not set the auto accept because the receptionist needs to accept/
decline the invites. It seemed to be going well for a couple hours but
then the conference room stopped showing a weekly event that has been
taking place for a while. I delete this meeting and re-created it,
seemed fine for a day or so then it is missing again.

Very frustrating for the people who have to book interviews in this
room.

Here is a screen shot

This show me looking at the conference room as an invitee vs directly
opening the conference rooms schedule directly and looking to invite.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
