XFOR: OVVM Connector Sends Incorrect Location Info in Meeting Request (214763)

SYMPTOMS

Exchange Server users may find that upon receiving a meeting request from a host user (OVVM), the location information is incorrect. This behavior occurs when the original host user does not specify a Location field in the meeting request; the OV/VM (PROFS) connector uses a value from a previous meeting request containing location information.

CAUSE

This is the result of a bug during the parsing of the meeting request by the OV/VM (PROFS) connector. Note that this bug only applies to the Web 2 or later version of the OV/VM (PROFS) connector.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
