XADM: Meeting Requests Written to Assistant's Calendar

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0
• Microsoft Schedule+, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Exchange PC Message Transfer Agent (MTA) and Microsoft Exchange MTA configurations as a back-bone for MS Mail for PC Networks Postoffices, Schedule+ meeting requests forwarded to and accepted by an assistant will be booked in the assistant’s appointment book, not the original attendee.

MORE INFORMATION

User1 sends a meeting request to User2, who has an assistant. When the assistant opens the Schedule+ meeting request and accepts the meeting, the meeting will be booked in the assistant’s calendar file, not the original attendee’s.
