I created a test user and his free/busy info doesn't show up. I moved his mailbox from one server to another (test box) and his F/B still doesn't show up. This was all done by Outlook. Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but no matter what client someone uses Exchange should still be able to convey the F/B information for that person's mailbox right? Even if there isn't nothing to report? It shouldn't be listed as ///////////// So this seems like a backend issue if it's happening to both Outlook and Entourage users correct? ----- Original Message ---- From: Rick Boza <rickb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 10:05:25 AM Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: Frre/Busy Issue http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------What happens if a Mac/T-bird user opens Outlook? Is it consistent for a given user? Meaning, if you look at their free/busy, do you see the same thing as someone else that checks it? What If you look from OWA? And again, what if you create new users? > From: John B <brookboyz1403@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: <exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 07:01:33 -0700 (PDT) > To: <exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: Frre/Busy Issue > > http://www.msexchange.org > -------------------------------------------------------Yes, that is correct. > Just random users have their F/B info not showing up when you create a meeting > request.
