Entourage Calendar resets meeting appointments to previous time

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I have several clients that when they create a meeting with invites on one machine (Outlook or Entourage) sync it with the server, then open Entourage on their, we'll say home Mac, it will sync with the current data.
If the meeting is moved or changed in anyway, Entourage, once opened will revert the meeting back to the original time the meeting was created.
This is not happening via OWA, just Entourage 08.
It is inconsistent, no rhyme or reason as too why. It will move the meeting back to the time it had the last time it synced.
Is there a way to get Entourage to resolve conflicts with the server by having the server prevail?

current data. If the meeting is moved or changed in anyway,
Entourage, once opened will revert the meeting back to the original
time the meeting was created. This is not happening via OWA, just

Not sure if this will resolve your issue but if you see this in just one
or a handful of folders then right-click or Control-click that folder or
Calendar, select Folder Properties and click the Empty button to empty
the cache. You can also select the account itself and empty the cache
for all of your folders.

Hope this helps!

No this was tried. Unfortunately, the moment you open Entourage it goes out to the server and resets the date and time back to the original proposed time.
