RE: Unable to update public free/busy data error in Outlook
Option 1 - - Archive current Calendar data. - Remove all data from current Calendar. - Does the problem still occur? - Create new appointment. - Try to run Clean Free/Busy - If successful, then add small groups of appointments back to Calendar until problem recurs. - Tedious isn't it? - If not, see Option 2 Option 2 - - Rebuild users Calendar. - Use MS Exchange client to rename existing Calendar. - Go back to Outlook and create new Calendar. - See if problem recurs. - If so, go to Option 3 Option 3 - - Rebuild users mailbox. Another thought - did this user use Schedule + prior to Outlook 2000 being installed? If so you might make sure it gets removed. (Be aware you may have to reinstall Outlook 2000 after doing so. Then again maybe not). Regards.

RE: Unable to update public free/busy data error in Outlook
Thanks for the suggestion, but those Q articles apply only to Exchange 2000 and we are running 5.5. The only thing we've converted to windows 2000 is our PDC. I've also checked out these q articles: Q184151 Q247927 Q270160 Q197494 The theme of all of these seem to be that either the folder doesn't exist or that the default editor doesn't have enough permissions. But everything is intact on the exchange box. I'm almost thinking I just need to reload the user's Outlook. Any other ideas or Q articles you know of?
