Auto Acceptance by delegate

I have been notified of a VERY strange occurrence and I REALLY need some
help.
We've got Netware 6, Exchange 03 SP1, Win XP clients, Office 03 - Sp1

Here is the alleged situation: Our office Administrator is up late at night
and sends a meetign request to a group, including a Lit Partner. That
partner has already delegated to have his Assistant not only have access to
his calendar, but also to receive copies of meeting related items. He wants
her to accept them, so he doesn't have to. On his system/login, we have a
rule setup to move all meeting invitations to a folder - to get them out of
his face. THAT IS ALL - no automation other than moving to folder. The
Office Admin received an acceptance of the meeting from the Assistant on
behalf of the Partner at 10:13 pm. The admin freaks out about Assistants
working overtime remotely (when for real, she was asleep in her home) and
its all trickled down to us in MIS.

One thing I do know for sure that has been bothering me is that when
delegation is setup, my LAN admins do it through their high end rights - NOT
by remotely accessing the attorney's desktop or by going to the actual
office and setting it up from the actual attorney log in. I have discovered
this causes a small bit of interference in terms of an attorney trying to
delete a delegate and not being able to because it was added by someone with
high admin rights.

Has anyone ever seen this "auto accepting by a delegate" happen? even when
the delegate has no rules in place to make this happen? The only other thing
I can come up with is that someone ELSE was logged in as the scretary and
did the acceptance.

Oh yah - PS: On the Partner's calendar, the appointment displays that it was
accepted at 9 Am this morning!

There might not be a need for a specific rule to be applied in the case
of the delegate. She may have set her preference to auto-accept all
incoming meeting invites. Check under Resource Scheduling (Tools |
Options | Preferences | Calendar Options | Resource Scheduling) on the
Assistant's desktop.

Fabulous idea - didn't help. I didn't think to look there initially beucase
we don't have anything set up as Resource. But nothing was checked on in the
Assistant's settings, so at least we've eliminated that as a culprit.
Thank you.
