-------------------------------------------------------Ok, here is
something for you to chew on... 

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?

-------------------------------------------------------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?
