The user is apparently not provided with an error message; it only
shows up on the server.

Here is what MS built-in help says: 

Details 
Product: Exchange 
ID: 8206 
Source: EXCDO
Version: 6.5.0000.0 
Message: Calendaring agent failed with error code error code while
saving appointment.
    
Explanation 
The 8206 event indicates that the Free/Busy component in Exchange 2000
had a problem accessing Calendaring or Free/Busy information. This
event is seen typically when the Exchange IFS Drive (also called M
Drive) is being scanned by a file-level scanner. This event has
several variations, with the error code in the Description section
differentiating each of the variants. The error codes usually are
Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) codes referring to bad data, or
authentication failures, etc.. You can use the ERROR.EXE tool on the
Exchange 2000 CD to get further details on the error.

This behavior can occur if a file level virus scanner is scanning the
installable file system (IFS) drive (M Drive) of the Exchange 2000
server.
This issue can occur if the MSExchangeFBPublish key and/or its sub
keys are missing from under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services in the Microsoft
Windows registry.
 
    
User Action 
Stop any virus scanner from scanning the M drive. To recover lost
calendar entries, either restore calendar items from a backup that was
made before the calendar items were lost, or manually re-create the
calendar items.
Restore the correct registry settings on the computer. Please query
the Microsoft Knowledgebase for Event ID 8206 for further details.
Verify that the service account (local system for a pure Exchange 2000
topology, and the 5.5 service account for mixed topologies) has
permissions to delete and retrieve messages in the System Attendant''s
mailbox.

I have searched Google, followed the MSKB's, and searched newsgroups,
but I have not come up with any solutions related to our
configuration:

1) We do not have an M:\ drive, nor are we running Exchange 5.5 (see
Exchange version)
2) We are using TrendMicro ScanMail for Exchange Server 2003. We
utilize several layers of anti-virus protection outside Exchange, so
the configuration for ScanMail has not changed since it was installed
(late 2003). It works fine.
3) There are no other errors in the event logs.

Please help if you can.

Thanks,

...D
