Duplicate recipients in an updated meeting invite

Hello,
I have a colleague who has a problem with meeting invites.
She has sent a meeting on behalf of her boss, to 3 external recipients.
When she updates that meeting, the recipients get duplicated. so in the 'To' field, the same person appears twice. so in this case, there's 3 persons so each name appears twice on the invite.
Does anyone know a reason for this please?
Office 2010 SP1
Exchange 2007
Windows 7 64-bit
Thanks

Hi,
There is a hotfix which fixed a duplicate attendees issue in Outlook 2010, you may have a try:

To get better user experience, it's recommended to install Office 2010 SP2 which provides the latest updates for Office 2010:

Multiple duplicate meeting invitations being sent out

One of exec. admins is experiencing the issue where she sets up meeting invitations (as a delegate on behalf of one of the VPs she supports) and sends them out via Outlook 2003 from her desktop PC. She also has her exchange account on her Iphone which has verion 3 on it. Within a 24 period and usually much sooner, the same meeting invite keeps sending itself out over and over with no way to stop it. We have tried reinstalling MS Office 2003 and reimaging her PC but no resolution, even swapping Iphones. We do know that when her exchange account is completely removed from her Iphone, the entire issue goes away? Anyone else experiencing this issue and if so, any way to resolve it?

We have a similar issue happening in our organization. Our project management team all use iPhone 3G (9 of them.) We manage a team of professionals from many companies and in many timezones, and the members have been receiving way too many copies of meeting invitations from us and are getting angry. Some are forming negative opinions about our organization because of this and blaming our IT team; this needs to stop ASAP. Does the 3.1 verison repair this problem Apple?? It isnt helpful that Apple hasn't been responding to people in their forums with Exchange calendaring problems and this problem Trumps the others by far.
Any assistance would be great!

Calendar meeting invites contain no information since update to 10.3.1.1565

Hi All
If I receive a calendar meeting invite from Exchange users with Outlook 2010 to my Q10 device, and I open it, there are 3 tabs along the top of the screen, Details, People and Emails, but the rest of the screen has no information its just white, so I cannot see what time the meeting is or where it is etc.
Any ideas, suggestions, assistance greatly appreciated (urgently! 18 users involved)
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After more troubleshooting with the user he reported the top of the calendar day view had the error "Some accounts failed to respond", he also had Hotmail account running and an AOL email account which he had not finished configuring. I suggested he delete the non corporate accounts and see what happens.
He reported that after deleting just the AOL account and restarting the Q10 the calendar and meeting invites were all ok!!

When accepting a meeting invitation, I get a completely different meeting

Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.1)
When I try to accept a meeting invitation, it gives me a meeting from over a year ago to accept. This meeting has nothing at all to do with the current meeting or event, yet I constantly get it no matter which invite I open and accept. It is infuriating. I've deactivated the iCloud. I've deleted all my calendars and put in new calendars. No luck. I get the same two meetings randomly when I accept an invite. Doesn't matter if I've already accepted one of the two meetings, those are my only choices.
I have searched and searched and found nothing.
Please help! My calendar is useless. I may as well go back to stone tablets at this rate. ;-)

I would love a solution, too. This issue came up as soon as I updated to the mobileme beta in october. First, all my "on my mac" calendars were deleted with years of needed historical data. Luckily I restored them via Time Machine backup. Then I talked in depth to multiple levels of AppleCare support and they were beyond perplexed. Any calendar invites I receive into iCal will automatically go into the first "on my mac" calendar, and cannot be moved to the mobileme calendars. The only bad solution is to "duplicate" the calendar event, and then move it to whatever calendar you want. Then delete the original event. Unfortunately, even if you select "delete and don't notify" the original event sender will receive a notification. I've also had problems with calendar invites in ical I accepted into mobileme syncing to my iphone and ipad in a format that does not allow me to edit.

Meeting Invite/Update Problems

I'm having a couple of very annoying problems about scheduling meetings.
Context: I have a Curve 8330 on Sprint and use BIS
Problem 1: Duplicate meetings in my calendar
1. Let's say I setup a meeting from on my BB and invite an attendee
2. Looking at my calendar, I see the meeting there (once).
3. Later on (after I get both my auto cc back for all sent messages, and the other person accepts the meeting), I now have the meeting in my calendar twice.
Note: I have not sync'd in the interim - this is all on the BB handheld.
Problem 2: Can't receive meeting updates or cancellations
While the BB can understand new meeting invitations, I can't get it to recognize meeting updates and meeting cancellations from others using outlook (standalone or with Exchange).
In replies, please consider that I use BIS
Thanks a lot,
Steve
(very frustrated)

Hi,
yes, I always would suggest to use a bootable cd, for updating bios.
It´ll reduce the risk.

Meeting "Invites" not received as "invites" but as empty emails

My family all have Blackberries of varying generations and updates. We are on a Verizon family plan.
We frequently use the "meeting invite" function to send each other calendar entries of our activities, in order to do the "family synch" of logistics and administrivia.
However, in the past few days, we noticed that our "invites" to each other are arriving to the recipients as emails--empty emails. The only thing on the email is the FROM and the TO and the subject line. The rest of the email body is empty and there is nothing about the email to indicate it is a calendar entry or meeting invite. There is no place for the recipient to "accept" "decline" or "mark as tentative," either. There is no indication to the sender that the invite was received or responded to in any way, either.
It doesn't seem to matter which one of us is sending which other one fo us a meeting request...it is just not arriving as a request or invite at all. Ironically, my office Blackberry--the oldest of all of them--is the only one that can still send an "invite attendee" for a new appointment or meeting request, and it will arrive in a useful format to the recipient, who can than "accept," etc. However, it will no longer receive the "invitation" correctly, but instead it also gets the request as an obscure email.
Please help! Our family's sanity depends on this function!

Lync 2013 meeting invitation customizations not working for some users

Hello Microsoft TechNet Forms,
I have a strange problem that I am totally stumped on. I made some modifications to the Lync 2013 meeting configuration to add in my company's logo, a footer and set a custom help Lync URL. Now everything seemed to work expect for myself and
one other person I tested with. If I try creating a new Lync 2013 meeting via my Outlook 2013 the normal stock Lync meeting invite appears. Yet testing with any other user everything I have changed appears as expected and I am at a total loss to why.
I have so far from troubleshooting determined it must be something with my account that is causing it but I have just not been able to determine what. As signing into a different machine yields the same result yet testing with another account that is
known to work on the exact same machine works correctly with the different account. I have tired deleting and re-crating my Lync account just in case that had something to do with it but that didn't fix the problem. I have tired repairing Office 2013 to
running windows update on Office 2013 which didn't help.
The changes I made to the meeting configuration are global scoped. I have so far not found anything online from anyone ever reporting a similar issue to this. At this point I am stuck on what I should be looking for with regards to what is stopping
the meeting invite updating for myself and the other person. Given I don't know what mechanism is involved with updating the Lync meeting invite on Outlook 2013 I am stumped. I am open to any suggestions someone might have as to what to do next or what might
be the cause of this problem.
Nicholas,

Hi Nicholas,
Can you compare your account with other’s and check if your account is applied any special policy in Lync Control Panel ?
Best regards,
Eric

How to send meeting invites using Exchange Email Account

Does anybody know how to send meeting invitations using the 3.0 software update?
My corporate email is set up with an Exchange ActiveSync account, but I can't figure out how to send meeting invites?
Is it a function solely of the iPhone 3.0 OS, or is it dependent on the Exchange setup.
Any insight would be appreciated.
David

That is what I was afraid of...the good thing is that is the only feature (besides battery life) that I miss from my Blackberry. Thanks.

Meeting invites no longer show in the notifications pane of iCal

I have been using Snow Leopard since it was released to the public and after a recent update I noticed that I could never see the Exchange meeting invites in the notifications pane. When I looked closer I saw that all the meeting invites were automatically added to the calendar, but they were colored grey (indicating that I had not yet accepted them).
I have searched the web for a solution, but there was just one entry of a similar problem, no solution though. I backed up the plist files for iCal and deleted the ones in System-Winson-Library-Prefrences
as well as the Cache entries for iCal.
Restarted iCal and got a colleague to send another meeting invite to my Microsoft Exchange Calendar. And the issue was still there.
There is no issue though with my iPhone which syncs with the same Exchange Calendar. I get to see the event notification.
I am totally lost and would appreciate help in this regard. This has been driving me bonkers all week!

Looks like 10.6.3 update solves this
iCal fixes provided for:
changing the invitation list for a single instance of a recurring event will no longer "un-book" the location of the meeting.
an issue in which new invitations on a Microsoft Exchange server might not appear in the Notification pane.
properly showing recurring Microsoft Exchange events which have a set end date. For details, see this article.

Calendar Meeting Invite from Outlook 2010 to iCal

Hello,
I am very VERY new to Macs and to be honest Calendar invites in general (Came from a Lotus Domino environment). I have come across an oddity that I am almost sure is related to the content of the .ICS file generated by Outlook and then sent to a mail user who uses an Apple Max OS X 10.7.3. (our Managing Director). It has resulted in me (IT for the company) buying an Apple Mac to try and troubleshoot. Sorrry for the Blurb
Working Scenario is
1. Use a Google email account and the Web interface to send a meeting invite to another Google homed account and that person uses a Mac as described.
2. Invite arrives and is automatically available in iCal with a tentative meeting (grey) event PLUS the notification panel in iCal showing an alert.
3. The notification Panel alert can then be used to Accept/decline the invite.
For the MD this is how he wants to work. As he gets numerous invites he can quickly scan down the notification alerts and access/decline as he goes. Rather than opening all of the email messages.
Failing Scenario is
1. Use an Outlook 2010 client to send the exact same invite to the same person at the same time (etc.)
2. Invite arrives in the Mac mail Box. BUT DOES NOT trigger iCal's notification panel
3. The Mac User needs to click on the attached .ICS file and if iCal is also visible you can see the notification alert appear
I have TextEdited both .ICS files and yes they are different. The general VCALENDAR elements are roughly the same but there differences with bits and pieces that a too numerous to mention. There is also all of the garbage with X- elements which I would think iCal will ignore anyway. I have tried hacking the failing .ICS when it arrives but that doesn't mimic the same type of flow and in the end I can't modify the .ICS files either as they are sent or arrive.
Yes, I have told the Outlook client to send using the iCalendar format for external recipients.
I was wondering if anyone had come across the same type of requirement or the same type of issue?
thanks in advance
Bruce.

I had the identical problem. I still don't know how to sync the tasks, but here's how I did the contacts and calendar:
1. Connect the 4s to the computer.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Click the iPhone box in the upper right corner.
4. Click on the info tab.
5. Hit the checkbox Sync Contacts with... and choose Outlook from the dropdown box.
6. Ditto for Calendars.
7. Hit Apply.
My problem was that originally, I wasn't getting the checkboxes. I turned off the iCloud settings on the 4s. That did the trick.

Live Meeting meeting invites contain links that are no longer accurate.

I inherited an OCS 2007 R2 environment (yes, I know it needs to be updated) that is currently sending meeting invites with links that are no longer valid for the install portion.
The meeting invite section says:
Make sure the Office Live Meeting client is installed before the meeting:
I am connecting from
inside the Corporation network
I am connecting from
outside the Corporation network
The links point to:
http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidOCSR2?clid=1033&p1=livemeeting
Which is no longer available.
I have found a current site:

How/where do I update the meeting invite information in my on-premise OCS 2007 R2 environment?

Issues when accepting meeting invite received via exchange

Hi,
My iphone (3G 3.0) is syncing with push via an exchange server. What I am finding out is that when I accept, tentatively accept, or decline a meeting invite, I also am doing the same "On Behlaf of" whoever is on either side of me in the meeting invite. I do not have any type of access to these people's email, calendars etc.
Anyone else having this issue? Anyway to resolve it?
Thanks!

We're seeing the same thing. Using iphone 3gs with exchange activesync 2003 and outlook 2003 client.
Although after a lot of testing we've narrowed it down a little. It seems to accept on behalf of the the person that appears first alphabetically in the list of recipients, and stops there.
For instance, my name starts with a 'J' (Jason). So if there are others that were invited whose name starts with a 'C' (Carol), and then a 'G' (Greg)....and I accept the meeting invitation, it will only "accept on behalf of" Carol but not Greg. So the meeting organizer will see a message that appears to be from Carol, but it actually states that Jason accepted on behalf of carol. The organizer will also receive the proper response that you (Jason in this case) accepted.
Other testing showed that if YOUR name was the lowest alphabetically in the recipients list (Jason, Sam, and Tom), then it will accept for you properly, but not accept those with names starting with a higher letter in the alphabet than your name.
So it appears to choose the first name in the recipients list in alphabetical order.
We also noticed that if the meeting organizer sends the request *from his/her iphone* (with the same recipients - Carol, Greg, and Jason), and Jason accepts it on his iphone....it will not accept on behalf of Carol.
So far we don't have a solution....but that's what we've figured out at this point.
I hope it makes sense.

Hi,
How did you open the .ics file in Outlook?
What error message did you get when you try to open the .ics file?
We can try File > Open > Open Calendar...
Or we can try to import the .ics file into your calendar, see:

No Reply option available for Meeting Invite from Lotus Notes

Upgraded to a 8310 and now my Lotus Notes Calendar appointments don't synch properly and all meeting invites are treated as emails. So no Reply or Decline function.
Has anyone experienced this? Have searched the web and no results.
My local IT want to wipe my phone and start again. I just got it the way I like it!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Is your Notes email integrated to your BB via BES? If so, then your BES admins really are in complete control of it. But, perhaps this will help them?

Checking of calendar details from meeting invitations

Hi,
Compared to previous BlackBerry software versions / generations, I haven't found a way for checking schedule surrounding the time of proposed meeting from the received meeting invitation (e.g. to check if I have enough time for getting to the meeting place from a previous meeting, find if I still have some time for having lunch between the different meetings, etc.). Obviously, I can remember the proposed meeting time, open the calendar application and find the day of the requested meeting there, but that is not very user friendly. Have I missed some simple solution?

I have a very similar issue that sounds like the same root cause, and I've had this issue ever since Mac OS started supporting Exchange server;
For any *recurring* meeting that I organise, if I click the 'Snooze' button on the notification- all of the attendees are sent a meeting update.
Sounds like the same issue- and given that it's been around for over 5 years, I suspect it's not going to get resolved any time soon.
