XFOR: Incorrect Envelope Information When Meeting Request Is For

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
• Linkage Message Exchange, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When a meeting request is forwarded from an OV/VM User to an Exchange Server user, it has incorrect envelope information.

This problem only occurs when the meeting request is forwarded. If regular e-mail is used instead, then everything works fine.

CAUSE

Currently there is no cross-platform calendaring between Exchange Server users and OV\VM Users. However, it is not unusual to use the above method to manually perform cross-platform calendaring. When an OV/VM meeting request is forwarded to an Exchange Server user, the item arrives in the mail box as an e-mail message; it is not a calendar item that the user can accept or reject. If the user wants to add it to their calendar, then they must manually add it to the calendar.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Linkage Message Exchange version 3.2.and Exchange Server version 5.5. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix.
