XADM: Outlook Web Access Renders the Meeting Request Information with an Incorrect Date (327358)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server SP3
This article was previously published under Q327358

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) may render an acceptance message for a meeting request as if the recipient accepted the meeting request for a certain time. However, the recipient did not accept the meeting request for that time.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because OWA uses the current date and time of the meeting to render the acceptance message for a meeting request, instead of using the date and time that was used when the recipient originally accepted the meeting.
