Outlook 2013 - Meeting Tracking is not updated when a meeting is changed in a shared calendar

Hello,

we have troubles in our Outlook 2013 environment.

We changed from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2013.

We have Exchange 2007 in background.

We have Outlook 2013 in Cached Mode.

Problem description:

A secretary changes a meeting in a shared calendar of one of her bosses/colleagues. The colleague (organizer of meeting) gets responses of the attendees (aceptet, tentiative, denied) in his Mailbox. When he looks into the meeting to check how many persons have acceptet the meeting, he founds out that the tracking is not update.

I found out in my first solution steps, that this occurs, when the meeting is changed in a shared calendar. When I change th meeting in my own calendar, it works. But we need a solution for the problem, because our secretaries are managing the meetings for some colleagues.

Thanks for help,

BR,

The workaround is to use the following script, when sending the meeting invitation:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

Dim MyRec As Recipient

Dim MyMtg As MeetingItem

Dim MyAppt As AppointmentItem

If (Item.Class = olMeetingRequest) Then

Set MyMtg = Item

Set MyAppt = MyMtg.GetAssociatedAppointment(False)

'Reset the tracking time stamp property for each recipient

For Each MyRec In MyAppt.Recipients

MyRec.TrackingStatusTime = Now - 1

Next

'Clean Up

Set MyRec = Nothing

Set MyAppt = Nothing

Set MyMtg = Nothing

End If

End Sub

This script sets the PR_RECIPIENT_TRACKSTATUS_TIME to the date of 'yesterday', and therefore the exchange 2007 calendar assistant can process all meeting responses.
