Hi all
I do hope someone may have seen something like this before. I've done some
trawling through the posts and cannot find anything that looks familiar, so
if this looks like a similar problem elsewhere, I do apologise. (and beg for
a link to it)
The problem is exactly as it states above. I have a client whose reminders
have gone quite literally beserk. One appointment is scheduled to occur in
December 2007 and it's reminder is set as 15 minutes - it's reminding now?
Also, dismissing has absolutely no effect. I have done the cleanfreebusy and
cleanreminders switches to no avail.
The environment is slightly complex as we're going through a migration
currently. This client's setup is Exchange 5.5 with Outlook 2003 (and some
machines she has used could very well have 2002). Our migration is to
Exchange 2003 (using quest for migration or so I'm told) and the Exchange
server enforces the Cached Exchange Mode - so much local data eh... Our
default replication option is to "discover" a 5.5 server (an "autoprofile"
function for lack of a better description)which this user is on, so the
Cached Exchange shouldn't be enforced, however, I have uncovered policies
locally on our systems which have it enforced, so I don't currently know
quite what it's doing.
So far, I've tracked down what I believe are all the PC's the client has
used since the problem occurred (got 12 or so) and deleted the NT profile,
which should cover re-profiling outlook quite nicely. The client also has a
blackberry which could be causing a problem, but I'm not so sure (I cannot
confirm whether this appointment currently displays on the Blackberry as well)
With that, does anyone know how a calendar appointment can be quite this
persistent? The appointment described above is one of 3 that I see are quite
distant in the future - with the worst of the lot being at 100000 weeks - can
Outlook even remember that far ahead??
This is truely a unique situation I think, so absolutely any suggestions
will be observed quite seriously
Many thanks for your time in advance
