We have a similar problem, Exchange 5.5 sp4 running on 2000 advanced server in a cluster environment. All of a sudden we are getting trouble calls from clients indicating that they cannot see the free/busy time of some clients that they wish to book a meeting with, notice I said " some " Now here's the kicker, If I invite 3 clients to a meeting, here is the possible results I may get, First client's free/busy is available up to April 1st and then is grayed out, the second client's free/busy is available from April 1st, but prior is grayed out , and the third is available according to the 2 month setting we have through default. ??? Things I have tried, called Microsoft, and have an open case as we speak. They are trying to resolve. Things I have done on my own, ran the CleanFreeBusy command against some client and on the most part it seemed to cure the problem, but not all. Then I have exported and deleted the client's mailbox and recreated it and then imported all data, and this seems to cure all that I have tried. We might be looking at *.edb file corruption, and I hope Microsoft has a cure, because there is no way I want to recreate 2300 Exchange accounts. Any comments will be much appreciated, and if I get a permanent fix, I'll pass it on../ -----Original Message----- From: Greg Hermida [mailto:ghermida@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 4:40 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Free/Busy data in Exchange 5.5 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Chris- By default, your outlook client (for Outlook 97 or 2000) is set to publish your calender 2 months in advance. You can change that in your Outlook client under Calender options. I use Outlook 2000 so I go to Tools, options, calender options, free\busy options and set mine to publish my calender for 6 months. I don't know if there is a global setting in the Exchange server or not. Maybe one of the gurus can lend a hand here.
