Outlook acts like I am recurring meeting organizer even though I am NOT

C

Choda Boy

I am invited to many recurring meetings. For some reason I have yet to determine, on some of these recurring meetings, Outlook treats me as though I am the organizer ("Cancel Meeting", "Send Update", "Add or Remove Attendees") even though I did not schedule the meeting and the "Scheduling" tab shows the correct person as "Meeting Organizer" and me as "Required Attendee" like the others.

This is especially annoying when I am invited to a recurring meeting and want to change my availability WITHOUT canceling someone else's meeting.

Another problem is that updates to these meetings are not reflected on my calendar.

Help!

Does this suggest that we tell all our corporate iPhone users that you ca
syn
your iPhone with Exchange *but* it might change the organizer of you
recurrin
meetings

I have been troubleshooting and searching for a resolution to this problem fo
months. Users are very frustrated. There seems to be a large number o
organizations dealing with this, so I am sure Microsoft is aware of th
problem
but I'm having trouble finding an acknowledgment, work-around or resolution.
Have you come across anything by chance

Thank you

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324 and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc891495(office.12).aspx -
turn on logging and see if you can catch the cause.

We recommend not accepting appointments on devices - especially iphones.
They should be view only. They can use rules to autoaccept some meeting
and outlook to accept everything else.
See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/calendar/autoaccept-a-meeting-request-using-rules/
for an autoaccept script.

check to make sure that the users email address is the same as the display
name. I had a user with this issue and adding a 2nd email address with the
correct syntax fixed it for me.
