External Meeting acceptance notifications go to manager and not delegate
Exchange 2007 SP3 RU6 OL 2010 SP1 ver (14.0.6106.5000) SP1 MSO (14.0.6106.5005) We have a manager\delegate relationship where a delegate is setting up meetings with internal and external people. When these people accept\decline these meetings and send notification - the notification emails from external people go to the manager. Internal notifications are going to the delegate. The manager's Outlook is configured to send meeting requests and responses to the delegate only. But on the meetings involving external people (gmail, yahoo domains). The delegate reports that this does not happen for other managers she works with. Through testing I can not duplicate this by creating a delegate for a test mailbox. All external responses are going to the delegate of the test mailbox as designed. We have deleted\recreated Outlook profiles, tried in online\cached modes and tried a different workstation. The problem followed to the different workstation. Any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Properties for working\non working users are the same. The ProcessExternalMeetingMessages for both users are set to false. We will try this out in OWA.

The problem followed over to OWA. I also ran MS OCAT tool which found some duplicate calendar events and I deleted them. The issue still persists.

Hi You can try hub transport rule, and set on manager. when they receive the reply, foward the Internal relpy to delegate. For transport rule in exchange 2007, you can refer to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb421708(v=exchg.80).aspx cheersZi Feng TechNet Community Support

I might be able to get that to work, but I would prefer the mailbox worked correctly on it's own. Rules sometimes misfire. This is for the CEO.

Try giving outlook /cleanrules a shot on the mgr's outlook profile than re-add the delegate and test. Backup any rules first.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com
