XADM: Calendar Items Disappear from User's Folders (299046)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q299046 SYMPTOMS When you use the calendar, you may notice that calendar
items have been deleted or that calendar items have disappeared from calendar
folders. The following event ID message may be logged in the Application event
log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: EXCDO
Event Category: General
Event ID: 8206
Computer: EXCHANGE
Description: Calendaring agent failed with error code 0x8000ffff while saving appointment.
You may notice that calendar items are deleted either on one
occasion each week, or according to some other schedule. CAUSE This behavior can occur if a file level virus scanner is
scanning the installable file system (IFS) M drive of the Exchange 2000
computer, and may occur during a weekly or daily scan of the server. The virus
scanner may be set to include all drives of the server. When the M drive is
scanned, the items in the information store are treated as files. In this case,
the virus scanner modifies a property or attribute of the calendar items, and
as a result calendar items may be hidden. RESOLUTION To resolve this behavior, stop any virus scanner from
scanning the M drive. To recover lost calendar entries, either restore calendar
items from a backup that was made before the calendar items were lost, or
manually re-create the calendar items.
STATUSThis
behavior is by design.
