 Scheduling tab and tracking tab do not match
After setting a meeting in my outlook 2003 calendar, I find that the scheduling tab where it shows the schedule for each attendee and the tracking tab where it shows how the attendees acknowledged the meeting request are not the same. Is this due to a setting with in the outlook client, is it normal to appear this way, or is there something occuring on the back end at the exchange server level? Thank you

Answer Wiki:
In Exchange 2003 scheduling is handled by the Schedule+ free/busy system folder in your public folder database. If you have more than one exchange server make sure this folder is replicating and synchronizing between all the servers. You can use <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=635BE792-D8AD-49E3-ADA4-E2422C0AB424&displaylang=en">PFDVAdmin</a> to view and make changes to the replication status. Install this tool on your pc, not the exchange server. You will need both dotnet 1.1 and 2.0 installed on your system. I would also modify the replication schedule to "always run" if you want the calendars to update the free/busy times for all users as soon as changes are made.
