Modifying all-day event reminders for recipients

[Christina]

I've done quite a bit of research and haven't found an existing post
that touches my specific question so here it goes....

We use all-day event appointments on occasion; some of the time having
a reminder is appropriate while others it is not. The issue we have
run into is that if I change the reminder on the appointment to
"None", most or all of the recipients will still show a reminder time
in the appointment on their calendar. However, on my copy, it is
still set to None. I'm not sure why this is the case for some people
and not others so I'm hoping that someone can tell me if the
Recipient's default settings override the settings set by the Sender.

There are some all-day event appointments sent out (where the sender
does NOT have reminders turned off by default), where they have set
the reminder to None and it reflects as such on all recipients'
calendars as expected. But recently, we are finding instances where
this is not always the case.

We are using Outlook 2007/ Exchange 2007.

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Christina

Thank you so much, Diane! I'm forwarding this to our Network group to
see if they can look into this.

We are experiencing the same bug, but we're using Exchange and Outlook
2010, so an Exchange 2007 bug fix is not applicable.

Anyone know of a 2010 bug fix?
