Changing one instance of a recurring meeting does not allow an update to be sent to all attendees

Question

  The Outlook Community seems to think this an Exchange problem, although I'm skeptical:
Have a user that is executive admin, handles many calendars and sets up many recurring meetings that have several attendees. It would appear that occasionally something "wonky"
is going on with one or two of them. The behavior is sporadic not constant across all recurring meetings.
What happens is this:
 1) User creates a recurring meeting on HER personal calendar, and invites 4 sometime more attendees (some within our domain
others outside our domain)
 2) User sends out meeting request and people accept request. New recurring meeting is added to their calendars.
3) Time passes sometimes months.
4) An attendee of the recurring meeting can't make the normal time and request that the meeting time be changed for THAT SINGLE OCCURANCE, of the meeting, just that one time, all remaining
occurrences of the meeting should remain in their normal time slots.
5) User opens up the recurring meeting on her calendar. Chooses "Open this occurrence" (not open the series)
6) Meeting shows that she is still the organizer. User changes the time of the meeting.
7) User only has the option to SAVE & CLOSE the meeting, there is no "SEND UPDATE" button to notify all the other attendees that this occurence of the meeting has had it's
time changed.
8) If user clicks SAVE & CLOSE, the meeting DOES change on her calendar but again no notification goes out to any other attendees and of course meeting time remains the same old uncorrected
time on their calendars.
In a nutshell, where is the SEND UPDATE button, it is missing from this meeting entry.
All users are using Office 2010 some (some with SP1)
Exchange environment (Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 8V2)

Hi Vtcrusade,
Attendees only receive the notification when meeting organizer update the meeting request.
If she is the meeting organizer, she should have Send UPDATE button.
Thanks,
