Problem Free/Busy
All, I have a multi-forest enviroment with linked mailbox, there are users from another forest using and enjoying the services that are in another Exchange forest. This is working perfectly, but when some users are trying to verify the free/busy from other users, some work some do not (this happens both with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007). If it didn't work in all outlook clients would be easier to work... I tried all configurations, including use the registry key "UseLegacyFB" Outlook 2007 to use PF instead of autodiscover... If I use OWA everything works perfectly.Anyone gone through this?Best regards,

I'm not using autodiscover, I'm using PF, so this KB from Microsoft will not help me
