Running Exchange 5.5 with 30+ sites. Everyone using
outlook 2000/xp can view all free/busy information in any
site. Users running outlook 2003 can not view free/busy
info. Seems like a client side issue. Anybody else see
anything like this? I'm about to roll out exchange
2003/outlook 2003 in the coming weeks and this could be a
show stopper.
 
Make sure your 5.5 server has the updates for Outlook 2003. Free/busy
was changed in Outlook 2003 and unless the server is updated the
free/busy info can become corrupted. The problem is older versions of
Outlook had 3 fields in free/busy information and Outlook 2003 uses 4.
It can actually bring your server to its knees if the same mailbox is
accessed with Outlook 2003 and older versions.

Other than that things should work. I used free/busy extensively on my
5.5 server with Outlook 2003, 2002 and 2000 during the beta.
