XCCC: User Who Is Not Meeting Organizer Can Join Meeting as Organizer (330331)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server

This article was previously published under Q330331

SYMPTOMS

The Exchange 2000 Conferencing Web Scheduler may permit a user to join a meeting as the organizer of the meeting, even though that user is not the organizer of the meeting. Therefore, the user may be able to change the meeting properties.

NOTE: This issue affects permissions only for the meeting. This permissions issue does not extend beyond the meeting in Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if both of the following conditions are true:
  • The organizer of the meeting has the same user name as the second user who can join the meeting as the meeting organizer.
  • The second user (who can join the meeting as the meeting organizer) belongs to a parent domain or child domain of the domain that the organizer of the meeting belongs to. For example:
    • The meeting organizer has the following user logon name: someone@example.com
    • The second user (who can join the meeting as the meeting organizer) has the following user logon name: someone@childdomain.example.com

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
