Meeting Acceptance Shows as Maybe in OS 3.0

I have my iPhone set up to sync mail, calendar and contacts with Microsoft Exchange. Since upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0 people have been telling me that some of my meeting "Acceptances" are showing up as "Tentative" as if I clicked "Maybe" instead of "Accept". This has happened a number of times and only since upgrading, so I know it's not just me clicking the wrong button. Has anyone else seen this problem? Any resolution?

Just to add some insight into my experience of this:
1. An appointment arrives in your inbox (Outlook/Exchange adds it as tentative to your calendar.)
2. You accept using Outlook (Clicking on the button displayed on the email in your inbox)
3. The meeting gets marked as "busy", but then jumps back to tentative.
I can fix this, once the appointment has gone to tentative, by selecting it in the calendar view (in Outlook) and choosing accept (I opted not to send a reply).
At a guess the issue is around the automatic insertion as tentative in your calendar, I suspect the subsequent acceptance is some kind of "in place" edit. Where as changing it from the calendar view is a direct modification and hence sync'd correctly.

  • Recurrence meeting is showing with ony "Occurs on Sunday and Monday"

    HI,
     I am having a client where the problem is when I send an re-curring meeting notice from my personal email address (  Monday - Friday ), in client calendar it's showing only Sunday and Monday. I have tried to send from other external email address
    also, but the same issue. Does any one have any idea on this ?

    Seems similar issue described in the below mentioned forum:
    Monday - Friday Recurring meeting only shows as Sunday - Monday when received from external mail organizations...

    What is the version of Exchange server you are having?
    Incorrect recurring meeting if disclaimer transport rule is enabled in Exchange Server 2010
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2927856
    If it is Exchange 2013 install the latest Cumulative Update and test it.
    It appears this is caused in case disclaimer transport rule is enabled.

  • TS3899 Sending a meeting invite from Exchange 2007 account located in Central Time from Outlook 2010 Email Client located in Eastern Time cause meeting to show up 1 hour early on iPhone

    Sending a meeting invite from Exchange 2007 account located in Central Time from Outlook 2010 Email Client located in Eastern Time cause meeting to show up 1 hour early on iPhone.

    The meeting invite is being sent from a Computer through the Outlook 2010 Email Client. Both Computer and Outlook 2010 are set to Eastern Time. The OWA (Outlook Web Access) for the 2007 account is set to Eastern Time. The Outlook 2010 Email Client is connected to an Exchange 2007 account and the Exchange server for the exchange 2007 account is located in Chicago (Central Time) and is set to Central Time. When the meeting invite is sent from the Outlook 2010 Client the recipient receives the invite on his/her iPhone(set and located in the Eastern Time Zone) and a mime-attachment.ics file is attached to the meeting invite email. There is no info displayed in the subject line or message body. If the iPhone user opens the attachment it displays the meeting date and time and any other info that was sent from Outlook. The Outlook 2010 user sets the meeting for 10:00am to 11:00am. when the meeting invite mime-attachment.ics file is opened on the iPhone the meeting is displayed as 9:00am to 10:00am. if the iPhone user adds the ics file to his/her calendar it adds a meeting event that is scheduled 1 hour earlier than it is supposed to be. I had the iPhone user to set Time Zone support on and off and there is no change.

  • ICal 5.0 ignores meeting acceptances ?!

    Problem Description
    I send out meeting invitations to other colleagues within my organization (Exhange 2010 server) from iCal 5.0 (Lion 10.7.1).  When people are sending their reply, I can see the "accepted" in the e-mail subject, but double-clicking on the attached ics file only works for some people sometimes to show the "accepted" in my iCal event. In most cases, ical simply ignores the acceptances.
    The problem is persistent and seems to be independent from where the mail is coming (MS Outlook, Mac OS X (e.g. iCal 4.), or any other e-mail/calendar client). I could not find any pattern yet.
    Workaround, that works in some cases, but not always...
    Now I tried/did the following: I saved the ics files and open them with a text editor. The ics reply that did not work had an extra line that started with COMMENT. I removed that line from the ics file that did not work, saved the ics file and double clicked on it. Now that invitee shows as well as "accepted" in iCal 5.0. GREAT I thought...
    BUT, I got a reply from another person, who uses Outlook on an Exchange 2007 server. His ics file also showed that COMMENT line. I did the same as above, but this time nothing changed in iCal ??? I even changed "2007" to "2010" in the ics file, but still no change in the invitee status. Why ???
    Since I have meetings every day and want to use iCal to handle them, I need some quick fix.  If I could change the state of the invitee manually, that would be a work-around as well, but not a solution. Does anybody know how that would work?
    Any hints that could help me are highly appreciated.  No one to blame... just looking for a solution.

    Macobs30:
    I have had this same problem and I search these boards often. You seem to be the only other person to have the same problem with getting iCal to accept and acknowledge sent acceptances. (How odd is that?)
    Have you found something that works yet and/or did Zamian solve the problem?

  • Outlook multi-day (not 'all day') meeting requests showing up as 1 day off on iphone attached Activesync Exchange 2010 accounts

    Exchange 2010 SP2 Server
    iPhone iOS 5.01 (4/4s) using ActiveSync
    Outlook 2007 clients
    When multi-day (not 'all day') meeting requests or appointments are being sent to email accounts which have an iPhone attached to the Exchange account via ActiveSync, the iPhone accepts the meeting request but then moves the event one day later than what it was originally scheduled and posts it to Outlook - also 1 day later than it is supposed to be.
    For example:  A meeting request comes into my that is schedule for 9AM-4PM M-W but when I accept it on my iphone it gets posted to my calendar as an ALL DAY event but T-Thu
    We upgraded to Exchange SP2 because some of the threads were alluding that SP2 would fix it - it didn't.  I know the fix is to rip out the event to separate calendar events but this will not work for reqeusts coming from outside.  And this is too tedious.  If anything, it is a serious bug.
    Anybody seen this before?
    Thanks,
    Monty.

    I am experiencing a similar problem with a client of mine who is using Microsoft's Cloud-based Exchange server, Office 365.  I suspect the Office 365 server is an Exchange 2010 server, similar to your environment.  Check out my tests below which I think define when the day shifting happens. 
    I see that you applied SP2 to your Exchange 2010 environment, but have you also applied Update Rollup 1?  See this article:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324.  It would be interesting to know whether that rollup resolves your problem.
    I have done some pretty extensive testing and have posted in the Office 365 Support Forum (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/146/p/53396/192332.aspx#192332)  Here is a summary of my testing.
    I am having the exact same problem described by Jim Edmonds and jkwmail (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/176/p/19921/93304.aspx#93304) with one of my clients who is not very happy about this or our inability to resolve the problem.  Here is what I am experiencing:
    When an appointment in Office 365 spans multiple days, the appointment gets converted to an All Day Event and moved forward one day on an iPhone ActiveSync client.
    I have completed the following troubleshooting:
    1 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate single day appointments in the morning from each account spanning two hours and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365. 
        Result:  The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook, Office 365 webmail, and iPhone.
    2 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate single day appointments in the afternoon from each account spanning two hours and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365. 
        Result:  The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook, Office 365 webmail, and iPhone.
    3 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate multi-day appointments from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 AM from each account and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365. 
        Result:  The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook and Office 365 webmail.  However, on my client's iPhone, the time on the appointments had changed to an all day event and the start date was shifted one day forward, Saturday, and the end date was Monday unless the appointment end time was after the appointment start time in which case it created an All Day Event on Tuesday as well.  For Example:  If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 8 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 8:30 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.  If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 7:30 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  This was also true for appointments starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 5 PM, starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 5:30 PM, and starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 4:30 PM as in the above AM examples. 
    *** Again I would like to note that on my iPhone which is connected to my company's MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 server, the multi-day appointment shows up correctly with correct start and end times and is not converted to an All Day Event. *** 
    It would seem this is a problem with ActiveSync on Office 365 and iOS devices.  What is particularly frustrating is that this exact problem is identified in KB 2563324 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324) Issue 1.6 - "An appointment is longer than 24 hours is changed to a multi-day All Day Event" which states:  "To resolve this issue, install Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2)."  Since this is a cloud based service, we do not have the ability to either see what the current version of the Exchange service we are connected to is or update the service with this patch level.
    4 - I performed the above three tests with my client creating the events in MS Outlook 2010 and inviting my work account on the MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server and got the exact same results.
    5 - My client's iPhone is running iOS 4.3 and my iPhone is running iOS 5.1.0.  In order to test this without going through the update process on my client's iPhone, I set up his Office 365 account on my iPhone and performed the tests in numbers 1-4 from above, viewing the results on my iPhone, and got the exact same results.
    6 - Today, I tried this with a different Office 365 account, performed the multi-day test in number 3 from above and got the exact same results.
    7 - Today I also upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.1.1, performed the multi-day test in number 3 from above and got the exact same results.
    8 - I have confirmed that all time zones are set correctly.  I have checked the iPhone, OWA, Office 365 Webmail, etc.
    I believe the problem in my case is with the Office 365 environment and not the iOS device.  However, trying to get support from these large companies seems to be very difficult?
    Does anyone from Apple know if this is an iOS bug or a problem with Exchange 2010/Office 365?
    Thanks...

  • I have an outstanding event notification that will not allow me to accept, decline or maybe. Neither can I delete the event, despite it taking place over 6 months ago. Sent numerous reports to Apple. How can I get rid of this?

    I have an outstanding notification on my calendar on iCloud. Despite the event taking place over six months ago, it is still showing as an outstanding event. I have tried to 'decline, maybe or accept' the event invitation and each time it tells me the calendar is not repsponding and send to Apple, which I do and yet I still cannot get rid of it. Any other event invitations that I accept etc will disappear, except this one. Help!

    Does this apply?

  • Exchange (Outlook) meeting acceptances/declines don't sync

    I have an iPhone4 and I sync to my office Outlook OTA. When I receive a calendar invite on my desktop and then accept it, the iPhone does not know that the meeting was accepted. I have to accept it a 2nd time on the iPhone. The same issue works the same way if I accept it on the iphone first. Any idea why this happens? Everything else seems to work fine.

    I did a little more testing on the calendar sync issue. I had two meeting invites sent to me. One I accepted on the iPhone, the 2nd I accepted in Outlook on my desktop. Again, it syncs OTA. Here is what I found.
    1. Accepting a meeting invitation on the Iphone seems to work OK.It syncs to Outlook properly and deletes the invitation from my inbox.
    2. Accepting a meeting invitation on Outlook:
    a. Correctly deleted the mail notification from my inbox on the iphone.
    b. Did NOT remove the invitation from my iphone calendar notification.
    c. Did NOT show the meeting as accepted on my iphone calendar.

  • Multi-Day External Meeting Invites Showing Incorrect Days To Recipient

    We are having an odd issue in our Exchange 2010 (SP3) environment with multi-day external meeting requests coming in with the wrong days. This does occur not
    with internal meeting requests of the same day and time settings.
    As you can see below, one of our external partners is sending a meeting request that is to occur
    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM, but when users in our system receive it, Outlook is saying it is scheduled
    Sunday and Monday 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM.
    I have checked to ensure the time and date are correct on all of our Exchange servers and the clients experincing the issue. Looking at the invite in OWA also yields the same results.
    I also had another external partner send a similar invite and got the same results, so I know it is not isolated to the one external domain.
    Google searches have turned up nothing with this particular issue, mostly people having time zone descrpencies, and iOS specific bugs.
    Has anyone seen this before and know what we can do to fix it?
    Please let me know if I can provide any further information about our environment that would help track this down.

    We are having the exact same issue. We are running 2010 SP2 RU6. Multi-day meetings such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday show up as Sunday and Monday when sent to us by an outside Exchange environment. This cannot be replicated internally obviously.
    Time is correct and Time Zone settings on our DC's and Exchange are fine. Also I'd like to note we are using IronPorts with ESMTP as our smart hosts.

  • Forwarded meeting request shows as 'sent on behalf'

    When a user forwards a meeting request to someone else it shows as 'sent on behalf'. This means when the recipient replies it goes to the original meeting organizer.
    Is there any way to prevent this or is this by design? Can we disable it for certain users/mailboxes?

    Hello,
    This is by design in Outlook. When we use Outlook 2010 or newer to forward a meeting to someone that was not originally invited to the meeting, Outlook sends a meeting forward notification to the meeting organizer. And it will show "Send on Behalf"
    of the original meeting organizer. If you want it to not show "Send on Behalf", you'll need to grant the user who is going to forward the meeting SendAs permission for the meeting organizer's mailbox.
    If you want to prevent users from forwarding a meeting, you can try using IRM to restrict users from forwarding emails. See:

  • Exchange 2010 multiple meeting acceptance emails

    Currently we have resource calendars in use (3 conference rooms). Our main conference room gets the most use (Conference Cygnus).  Our main weekly staff meeting has experienced the most issues, but I also have a weekly IT meeting that has the same issues.
     Here are some problems that have been happening and happen most when we do any kind of editing of single events in the series.
    Multiple event notifications sent to all or some users in the organizations. (we’ve seen as much as 100 email notifications to a single user for the same meeting update)
    Some users reporting that once an update is sent (single update) and they select accept it will delete the entire series.
    Vanishing meetings in general
    Note that the meetings are not using distribution lists and that the resource calendar has the booking attendant active for ease of management.  The “conference cygnus” only needs to be invited for it to auto accept or decline the meeting.
    Exchange 2010 SP 1 version 14.01.0218.015
    We have a few admins that have full access to some executives calendars as well as Full Permission on the resource calendar, something I had to add in order for them to add and delete events manually if needed.
    All users have IPhones or IPads.
    I have looked at the headers and the extra messages all have a different message ID.
    Any Ideas?

    Hi,
    I noticed that all users are using IPhones or IPads. Please confirm if anyone use these third-party devices to processing meeting request such as creating meeting request, accpeting a meeting inviting, forwarding a meeting request. We can disable the ActiveSync
    for these devices and send test meeting request to check whether the issue persists.
    Personal suggestion, please just use these devices to view the calendar and we can create or process the meeting request by using Outlook or OWA. The following KB descripts the Current issues with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices:

  • Auto accept with auto-maybe? is it possible?

    Is it possible to have a location object accept all invites with 'maybe' rather than auto-accept? Is there some options for the way it auto accepts? or is there a way to force an auto-accept even if there's a schedule conflict?
    Is there a com.apple.whatever I can edit or an applescript to do this? We only want the behavior on one particular calendar, but it will have multiple simultaneous meetings.
    This is with the iCal server 10.5.

  • Outlook 2007 Meeting Invite show optional attendees on form when creating the meeting

    Hi - When I create a meeting I see the "to" box and the list of attendees - but cannot differentiate on the form who is required vs who is optional.  How do I display the attendees and their role as they are displayed in the pop up to select
    attendees.. meaning there is a line for required, a seperate line displaying optional, and a seperate line displaying resources.
    thank you.

    Hi,
    In Outlook 2007 when we are creating a meeting, we can't differentiate between the Required Attendee and the Optional Attendee directly from the "To" field. Instead, we need to switch to Scheduling Assistant to see the difference:

  • Meeting acceptances from external attendees do not reach OS X Server

    OS X Server allows you to run your own calendars, away from iCloud. So when setting up meetings and sending out invites, I would like to know, what the status of the people is I have invited.
    Trouble is, that when an external attendee wants to confirm, OS X Server's mail function rejects the email as the recipient is unknown in the local recipient table:
    From: Client <[email protected]>
    To:
      [email protected]l.example.com
    Subject: Event accepted: Lunch
    Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
    Recipient address: [email protected]l.example.com
    Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
    Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.1.1 <[email protected]l.example.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
    In my view, Calendar and Mail should work together, so that responses can come through and can be processed by the Server, but without compromising security or allowing spam mail through.
    Any ideas on how to achieve this?
    Thanks for your ideas
