Tracking Meeting Requests within a Public Folder Calendar

Hello everyone!

I work within a large corporate environment and have had an end-user pose an
interesting dilema to me.

When she has created a meeting request in a Public Folder calendar (which
she is the "owner" of), it does not seem to track who has accepted, declined
etc other than her own response. Tracking works fine in her own calendar and
I believe the problem may be that the Request Responses get sent back to her
and not the public folder.

Has anyone else experienced this same issue?

Our environment uses Microsoft Exchange 2003 with Microsoft Office 2003.

Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciaited. Feel free to reply /
email if you would like further clarification on the problem I have described.

Thankyou!
 
Meeting requests, no matter where they are created "from" will always be
returned to the default folder for that user.

Thanks for the information Milly,

So why wouldn't the tracking fields get populated in the Public Folder
Calendar when a recipient replies (ie accepted, declined etc).

Thanks!
 
See my previous answer - all activity connected with that meeting invite
will go to the user's default folders, not the public folder.

Hi again,

Sorry to be a nuisciance but I think we may be talking about different
functionality. The end-user recieved the email notification fine, I am
talking about the Tracking Tab in the Calendar Appointment.

Thanks
 
I have come accross this same issue just today.
I was using outlook 2003, the issue with outlook 2003 were the rules I had
set up to move the message reply from a meeting attendee from my indox to my
archive folder inbox. I set this rule up in order not to recieve the "I'M
over my limit" for my inbox. I had to change the rule to move a "Copy" of the
message to my archive folder inbox and leave the original message in my
inbox. Outlook uses a program called a "sniffer" to sort mail and put meeting
notices on the calendar also responces and track them. the rule I had set up
moved the message out of the inbox to quickely not allowing the sniffer
program time to sort the responce to the meeting notice.
Now if you are using Outlook 2002 and are having this problem and have not
yet insalled "Outlook 2002 post-Service Pack 2 hotfix package that is dated
September 12, 2003" do so and that should also resolve your proble.

I hope this will help.

Regards,
