Public Calendar Events/Appointments

In our company we have a public calendar set up for all company appointments. We have a mix of PC and Mac users. If someone on a Mac schedules an appointment on the public calendar and invites a person to that event, the person receives a notification that they have been invited, but is unable to accept that item so that it shows up on their personal calendar.

The options "Accept", "Decline" and "Accept Tentatively" do not show up on the invite. I even tried right clicking on the messaging and choosing accept from the list, but the event still doesn't show up on my personal calendar.

However, if a Mac user receives an invite from a PC user, they are able to accept as well as invite PC users who are also able to accept.

Has anyone run into this issue? Could it be a domain issue?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Are you referring to a calendar in the public folders? Those calendars
do not have their own mailboxes and therefore they technically can't
send or receive meeting invitations.

I suggest having the meeting organizer send from his own calendar and
manually copy the event to the public folder afterward.

Hope this helps!
