Default Prevent Meeting Updates Overwriting Comments

Recently one of our users had added some information relevant to a meeting he was due to have with a colleague.



This was done offline whilst on a flight. So was not replciated back to the server in time for the backup to capture it. The laptop was connected to exchange in the mornig but later on the meeting was cancelled and so the comments that had been entered got overwriten.

Is there any switches/options I can use to notify the user the meeting will overwrite there comments/changes etc.

Or anyway to bring it back from the server/laptop ?

We currently use Exchange 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2007 SP2

Thanks
Ian

Ian,

Unfortunately, once a meting is canceled any comments made after this will be discarded.

Is this a resource calender?

These calenders have their own set of options that can be used to prompt meeting conflicts with other users.

A shared calender contains permissions for each users usage allowed. Simply deny any user from canceling the meeting if they are not the owner.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

It was the users mailbox. Might be worth considering the shared option though or resource calender.

Thanks
