After migrating the mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 (basically by bringing new Exchange 2000 servers into our Exchange 5.5 organization and then moving mailboxes from the 5.5 to 2000 servers) we have ended up with two outstanding problems that, to date, PSS has not been able to resolve.
This is one of the two: In our organization the default calendar permission on all user calendars is Reviewer. (This was the default in our previous email system - PROFS/OV - and users wanted to keep this capability when we went to Exchange four years ago.) Post Exchange 5.5 to 2000 migration, a large number of user calendars (more than 25%, less than 50%) have permissions that include not only this default, but in addition the first 250 or so users in our address book now have specific permissions of Reviewer also. That is bad enough, but in addition, no one can actually review these user calendars. And, changes/deletions cannot be made though Outlook to these permission settings. Free/Busy info for the establishment of meetings still works. So far there is no fix. (Well, I can export the user's calendar entries to a PST file, then use the old pre-Outlook Exchange client to delete the calendar, then use Outlook with the /resetfolders option to re-create the calendar, and then import the PST file back in. This sounded viable when I thought the problem was five to ten users; now it looks more like upwards of 800-900 users.) MS PSS had me run through an ISINTEG -fix -test alltests run, which was exciting and all, but did not fix the problem. At this point, the 'why did this happen' aspect is much less important to me than the 'how do I fix it' question (we are not migrating back!). Any ideas?? Thanks . . .
