Appointments with option Working Elsewhere not visible in Scheduling Assistant
I have a problem with appointments that have the Show As option as "Working Elsewhere".  When someone tries to use the scheduling assistant and selects someone who has an appointment set to "Working Elsewhere" the appointment is not visible at all in Scheduling Assistant. If the person changes the appointment to Busy or Out of Office is becomes visible again to the person using Scheduling Assistant. Outlook 2013 and Exchange Server 2010 with the latest updates installed are being used in our Environment. Is this type of behaviour by design or is it something else like using Exchange 2010 that doesn't support it fully?

How does it look from OWA? In Exchange Online it works as expected, if I don't forget I will test it with Exchange 2013 on-prem tomorrow as well.

Hi,

Based on my research and test, the WorkingElsewhere field is applicable for clients that target Exchange Online and versions of Exchange starting with Exchange Server 2013.

Between outlook 2013 clients and mailbox being on Exchange 2010, the meeting invite would show as "Working Elsewhere" for each of the attendees in their respective calendars but does not show any information regarding other attendee who accepted the meeting request.

Thus, the Working Elsewhere field is visible in attendees Schedule Assistant with outlook 2013 and mailbox on Exchange 2013. Here is an article talked about it:

Seems Winnie is correct, I can repro this with my work account (Exchange 2010 SP3).

The only issue I have is this used to work in my Exchange 2010 / Outlook 2013 environment and somewhere along the way it stopped working.  It was pointed out to me recently - in the last 30 days - but I don't know when it stopped working. 

When I say working, I mean it used to show up in other Outlook 2013 clients when they were using the scheduling assistant.  If an employee had the day marked working elsewhere, all could see it via Outlook 2013 Scheduling Assistant. 

I think and Exchange or Outlook update broke it.
