XCCC: The Conferencing Web Scheduler Permits Meetings That Are Not Valid (322671)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server SP1
  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server SP2

SYMPTOMS

The Exchange 2000 Conferencing Web Scheduler may permit a user to book a meeting with an incorrect duration or recurrence schedule. For example, a user may be able to book a meeting with a duration of four days every day. The Conferencing Web Scheduler permits the user to schedule the meeting, which is not valid.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Conferencing Web Scheduler does not follow the Microsoft Outlook model for booking a meeting.
