Outlook automatically adds meeting request before user accepts it

[mezlo]

I'm not sure if this is an Outlook issue or an Exchange issue so I'm
posting it in multiple groups.

We're running an Exchange 2007 SP1 server with users using Outlook
2003 and Outlook 2007. An issue we are having is when a user receives
a meeting request, the event is added to their calendar even though
the user hasn't viewed the request and hasn't accepted or declined it.
Automatic acception of meeting requests is unchecked on every machine
I've looked at so that isn't the cause.

How do I configure Exchange and/or Outlook so that a meeting request
is not added to a user's calendar until they actually view the request
and accept it?

Also, once a user accepts a request the email is deleted. How can we
set it up so that accepting a request doesn't automatically delete the
request itself?

We are having this issue, as well! It is getting very annoying. Does anyone
know how and where to change this setting? I haven't been able to find it in
any of my searches.

Please help!

Wow, this is not the perfect answer, (I'd rather be able to just turn the
feature off) but perhaps this will work for you as a workaround:

I agree this isn't the perfect solution but it did prevent the
behavior from occurring. Thanks!
