Make Names Invisible To Others Under Scheduling In A Calendar Inv

I would like to be able to send out a meeting invitation and not allow others
to see who all has been invited. I receive an invitation from someone and
when I look to see who will be attending the meeting it shows <Attendee List
Unavailable>. How can I do that when I send out an invitation?

Attendee list unavailable is generally seen because of problems connecting
to the Exchange server to get the free/busy information, not as the result
of a setting on the invitation. There isn't actually a BCC for meeting
invites.

And while I remember from my support days that the customer is always right,
I really have to ask... why do you want to be able to do this? Seems kind
of backwards to invite people to an event where they will definitely see who
all is there but hide that information until the event itself. Maybe if I
understood the why, there might be a better way to go about it...
 
I honestly don't know why anyone would want to do this, but my boss asked me
how this is done and I was trying to find an answer for him. When this
happens and he is invited to a meeting, I normally email the organizer for a
list of invitees before he accepts the meeting invitation.

Thank you for your answer. We are on an exchange server and now I
understand why it is happening. Is there a fix to this?

Actually, I might have a way that it could happen. If someone invites a DL
to a meeting, and that DL's membership is hidden, I believe you can get this
effect.
 
I have a need to hide my Scheduling/Attendee list on a meeting invite -- we
offer free webinars, and sometimes our competition gets ahold of an invite
(forwarded email) and we do not want them to see the Attendees...or have
clients see other clients. I've seen it done, where I accept an invite to a
group event and I'm the only attendee listed....just haven't been able to
figure out how to do it myself yet. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
I'm using Outlook 2003 BTW. Thanks!
