Meetings/Appointments entering at wrong time/date

[Johnnybegoode]

OL2003/Exchange
Just had my PC re-imaged by our IT department & now my Outlook is doing
weird things with the calendar.
When I create a meeting request or appointment, whatever time or date I set
in the form is ignored and the meeting/appointment is entered in my calendar
at the time/date it is created.
If I accept a meeting request from another user, this is also entered in my
calendar as if the meeting was to be at the time the request was received
instead of the time specified in the meeting form.
Driving me up the wall.
Any ideas?

Hi Johnny

Does the appointment time show correctly in the item when you open it, or is
it wrong there too?

If it's correct in the item but wrong in its place in the calendar, try
switching to a different view. You may need to run Outlook with the
/cleanviews switch (search for "switches" in Outlook help if you've never
used a command line switch before) to clear up corrupted views, but be aware
that will clear all of your view customisations.

I have this problem and tried the switch below but it didn't help. Do you
have any other suggestions?

We are starting to have this Problem also.
A user Shedules a meeting with other attendees and some get the
correct appointment entry in their calender, but others get in at the
date and time of creation.
The appointment even can span multiple days on the problem calendar.

I'd also appreciate some indication on where to look. Can we enable
some kind of logging on the server? The logging feature on OL2003 is
not very usefull, you have to call MS for them to convert it.

We do also have this problem, and I have searched everywhere and tried alot
of the outlook switches, it is with Outlook 2003 just one or 2 users
calendar, when they receive a meeting request for a specific date it does not
go to that date but the same day they receive the message, if they go in
Outlook Web access it appears at the right date, this is very weird...

If any one as any news???

Thanks

I have noticed this behavior on a couple of my machines running Outook 2003.
Reads meeting requests as occuring in the next hour/half-hour after receipt
of the request. Everything is fine on the server, OWA or viewing with
Entourage.

I am having this problem with one of our users. Have tried the switch
solution but has not worked. Has anyone found any other fixes.
