Re: Free/Busy Info Issues
Quick question on this; the clients that are having the issue are in a trusted domain. Could this be causing the issue? All of the tests pass but I am running them from one of the servers in the actual domain. From: Michael B.

RE: Free/Busy Info Issues
Thanks Michael, done that (had to do it via the 2003 ESM as the 2010 one doesn't appear to let you specify replication priority on a per-folder basis?). So I'll wait it out and see what happens - yesterday it seems changes did make it through, they just took quite a while. Do you know if there is anything unique about the Administrator account that gets mail enabled when Exchange 2010 is installed? I ask as I went into it via OWA and created an appointment yesterday, yet this morning it still just shows hatched bars if I try and arrange a meeting. What I'm never quite clear on is how much of the free/busy info that's shown is dependant on the client going into Outlook every so often? From: Michael B.

RE: Free/Busy Info Issues
Certain administrative functions in Exchange require the account that executes them to be mailbox-enabled because they are now executed as a web-service (part of the Exchange Control Panel). ECP, like OWA, requires an account to be mailbox enabled for a login to succeed. I don't particularly agree with that requirement, but I understand it, and it's considered by design. So, when you install Exchange, the account used to install Exchange is assumed to be the master Exchange admin account and if it doesn't already have a mailbox, it gets mailbox enabled. Also as a part of that installation it gets added to the Organization Management group. In Outlook you can configure how much information is maintained for free/busy; but actually going into Outlook is not required. That being said, for a mailbox to publish free/busy, the mailbox must've either received a piece of email or have been signed into by either Outlook or OWA. Regards, Michael B.
