The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Schedule+, version 7.0
SUMMARY
In a pure MS Mail Postoffice environment, Schedule+ 1.0 and Schedule+ 7.0
have several interoperability issues. The information provided here assumes
that you have brand new Schedule+ 7.0 users, or that you migrated from
Schedule+ 1.0 and cleaned up the original Schedule+ 1.0 calendar files. If
you are not sure that the original files were cleaned up, run the Adminsch
program and choose Administration-Clean Up Schedule Files after the
migration.
MORE INFORMATION
On a Single PO:
- Free/Busy Information:
From a Schedule+ 1.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 7.0 user:
CAN:
- You can see free/busy information for a Schedule+ 7.0 user, but that
is all.
CANNOT:
- You can not see planner details.
- You can not open a Schedule+ 7.0 appointment book.
From a Schedule+ 7.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 1.0 user:
CAN:
- You can see free/busy information for a Schedule+ 1.0 user.
- You can do all messaging. But Schedule+ 1.0 does not accept recurring
meeting requests. Meeting Cancellations from Schedule+ 7.0 to
Schedule+ 1.0 will not provide the Remove from Schedule option. You
will need to manually delete the appointment. Also, if the Schedule+
7.0 sender moves the meeting, the Schedule+ 1.0 user will need to
manually delete the old meeting.
- You can open a Schedule+ 1.0 appointment book, depending on the
permissions given by the Schedule+ 1.0 user, but you can only create
appointments and meetings on the other person's appointment book. You
cannot create tasks, events, contacts or any recurring items
(including recurring appointments and meetings). You can modify
recurring appointments that the Schedule+ 1.0 user created on their
appointment book, but you can not create them for them.
- Delegate/Manager:
Both the manager and the delegate need to be running the same version of
Schedule+.
- Resource:
From a Schedule+ 1.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 7.0 resource:
CANNOT:
- Resources cannot autobook, but here is a workaround:
1. Resource is currently logged into Schedule+ 7.0.
2. The This Account is for a Resource option is checked.
3. The Auto Accept and Auto Decline options are checked.
4. Unless there is a conflicting meeting, in which case the mail
will just sit in the inbox until someone deals with it. Because
of this situation, we recommend that you assign a delegate to
the resource, so they can watch for conflicting appointments.

For free/busy information to be seen, you must either have dynamic
connections setup or run Schdist.exe. You can run dynamic connections
and Schdist.exe at the same time.
