Appointments Lost

I am running Exchange 2003 with all of the latest hot fixes and service
packs. My clients are Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. Several of my users have
problems scheduling group appointments. Here is the problem: When User A
creates an appointment and then invites several more people in the office,
the appointment shows up on his calendar and no where else. Several of these
users are set to automatically accept appointments and the appointments are
not accepted nor put on the calendar. The appointments just never show up on
the calendar. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you,
Rachel Moreaux

Group scheduling occurs through messaging. Make sure he is actually sending
the meeting request.

Thank you for the quick response, but I have confirmed on seperate occasions
that this is happening. The appointment will end up on his calendar, but not
any other attendee's calendars. This is baffling why the appointments would
not show up on the attendee's calendars.

Thank you,

Rachel

Once again, the symptom points to the organizer setting up the meeting and
saving but not sending it.

I wish this were true, but I have verified that the user is indeed sending
the appointment and it is not showing up on calendar. This is very
disturbing because people are missing meetings.

Any other thoughts or suggestions?
