I have a couple of VP's that do the same thing.  They have unread invites from 
over a year ago and refuse to clean up.   I finally gave up trying.  I guess 
they figure if they do not click the button then there is no proof they 
actually saw it.

ROFL - was thinking along those lines myself.

He can always accept as tentative if he really can't decide - or doesn't want 
to commit.

LOL... Requires a minor rewrite of my favorite:

Patient:  Dr. Dr., it hurts when I don't do this.
Dr. MBS: Do that!

Isn't it obvious?

Accept requests if you are going to the meetings. Reject them if not.

D'oh!

Subject: Calendar Invite disappears after a month when not acted upon

Environment:
Exchange 2003 / 2010 co-existence

Users: Sender of calendar invite on E2010 and receiver on E2003.

We had someone invite our CEO to a meeting. It showed as tentative which is to 
be expected.  The invite was about a month ago, and was never accepted, but he 
knew it was there as a 'placeholder'.  Then one day last week it disappeared 
from his calendar.  Per his side, This seems to happen when he hasn't accepted 
them for an undetermined amount of time.  It happened today with a meeting that 
he was invited to over a month ago.

What I have checked and gone over with the folks who access his calendar:

1 - See who has delegate access to Dean's calendar.  We removed all permissions 
for delegates to approve meeting requests from his calendar for this very 
reason.

2 - if someone is a delegate and does not ACT on a calendar event, if they 
delete it, that will remove it from his calendar. They need to set up a folder 
called "CEO Requests" and just move the calendar request to that for now.   
This has been true for as long as I have managed calendars but I am hoping to 
see a change in 2010.

3 - Simply do NOT DELETE any calendar requests as the LAST ACTION taken is what 
gets recorded.. even if he has already accepted it.


Is there a setting that removes an item as tentative from a calendar on a 
certain date (or something)??????  I checked whether it was sent with an 
expiration and it wasn't.  I'm really not sure why this is happening as I've 
managed others calendars for many years and never seen the problems we 
encounter with this one CEO's mailbox.

I would love suggestions to make this more stable.

Thanks,
Alice
