Fallout from Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade Part II: 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 Exchange 5.5 we utilized the delegate account method (Q169872) to deal with meetings that included shared resources. As part of the upgrade to Exchange 2000 we used the NTDSNoMatch attribute on these calendars to force the ADC to create disabled accounts for them. So far, so good; it worked as advertised. Now that we have migrated, on an apparently random basis, users cannot modify meetings that they scheduled on conference room calendars prior to the migration. Not all meetings on any calendar have this problem; not all meetings scheduled by any one user have this problem. Of course in the migrated system the default access permissions to conference room calendars is Author. Creating new meetings that include resource calendars is working fine. Behind the scenes, what has happened on the problematic meeting entries is that the Owner of the meeting is no longer the same as the Meeting Organizer; the Owner is the disabled conference room account instead. The meeting organizer tries to update the meeting, and gets a "Your changes could not be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder" So far the only 'fix' that works is to make the default calendar access permission on the conference rooms 'Editor'. In an organization or our size (60 resource accounts, 1700 users) that would create a disaster all its own. 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 . . .
