Meetings changing to tentative / Tracking changes to calendars?   
Howdy folks.

Back in December I posted the following to the exchange.clients group and
received no replies.  I'll see if anyone can help out in here, but there's a
new twist that will follow my original post:

=======================\
We have an executive assistant that is set up as a delegate for each of our
execs.  She's the only delegate set up and is the one who manages their
calendars (they only go in to see where they're supposed to be).  She does
this for about 4 VPs.

For a little while now she said that with one particular VP's calendar when
she makes an appointment it eventually shows up as Tentative instead of
Busy.  She is using the same procedure she uses with the other execs and
this behavior only happens with one particular user's calendar.

We are running Exchange 2003 Enterprise SP2 on a Windows 2003 Standard SP1
box.  All clients are using Outlook 2003.

Does anyone know what circumstances could cause this behavior?  Thanks in
advance.
========================/

Today we found something else out that may or may not be related.

The user had a recurring quarterly meeting that originally would have
occured at the end of December and was rescheduled to the 22nd of January.
After it was rescheduled the user had gone into the appointment and added a
number of notes.

However, at some point in time the appointment somehow moved back to the
December date--but only in his calendar.  All of the other attendees still
showed the appointment as being on the 22nd of January.  This got noticed
because he wanted to go back to the appointment in his calendar and look at
the notes he'd entered and the appointment was no longer there.  Not only
that, but the appointment date in December did not have the notes in it.

This user only has one delegate (the executive assistant) and neither of
them have fooled around with that appointment.  The tentative appointment
issue has a workaround (she keeps looking at his calendar and going in to
change the appointments from Tentative), but it's cumbersome and
she's...vocal about it. :)

Basically, I need to know if there's any way I can track changes to a user's
calendar.  If I can't track by the user who made the change, if I can at
least nail down a date that the change occurred maybe that can help me
narrow things down.  Thanks in advance.

You can try the following:

Re: Share "user made" calendar   
She can right-click the calendar folder, choose Properties, and then grant 
rights in the Permissions tab.  Do the same with the root mailbox folder 
(usually Outlook Today) and grant Reviewer role to the person so she can see 
the tree.  Then she can configure her profile to open that mailbox as an 
additional mailbox.  In Outlook she'll be able to drill down to that special 
calendar folder.
