Outlook Calendar not tentatively accepting?

[Clancy]

Server: Exchange 2003

Client(s): Outlook 2007, cached mode.

I've got a user who is scheduling for her superior. She will post a
appointment to a public calendar, and Invite her superior. Th
appointment, however, does not show up as 'tentative' on the superior'
calendar until he arrives into the office, and open's Outlook.

Is there a way to resolve this? The user claims this is different, an
that the previous behavior of Outlook 2003 was NOT this way. I have n
practical experience to argue against that, but I cannot see a way t
resolve this for the user.

Thanks

Where would you expect to see it if not in Outlook?

Hello all,

Very much a correct answer, but not the correct answer we would hope
for. We have Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007. The people that have this
issue mainly in our organisation are PAs that have delegate rights
over calendars/mailboxes for the various management they respectively
serve.

I have been through Windows profile rebuilds, mail profile rebuilds,
outlook /cleanfreebusy, assigning delegate rights from my own calendar
(which works fine until I get a delegate), using the webmail client
and also intense moments of supplication to the Almighty. We have
plans to migrate to Exchange 2007 or perhaps straight to 2010 (It has
yet to be decided). However I have also been told that these symptoms
are prevalent in Exchange 2007, so I still need a real solution
please. What would make us here very happy is the ability to have
meeting invutes come in and be tentatively accepted without ever
having to have had Outlook open at all.

Regards to you all.

Nayab,
