Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Applications / December 2006Can not delete a meeting request with a SENT date of January 1, 1601
I have a user that created a meeting request in Outlook 2003 and sent it to over 100 people for a meeting on Jan 18, 2007. The meeting was cancelled. She cancelled the meeting with Outlook, it did its job and removed the meeting from the calendar and sent cancellation notices. Here is where the wierdness comes in... That night the Exchange 2003 server, which is a cluster, was failed over from one node to the next. No big deal. The meeting that was cancelled was then "automagically" sent back out after the cluster fail over, and placed on the calendar for Jan 18, 2007 but it now has a sent date and time of 12:00am 1/1/1601. The original sender of the message shows as the meeting organizer but she can no longer delete the meeting. Now multiple people have accepted the new meeting, but we can't delete it or cancel it Anyone have any thoughts on how to get rid of this meeting? > Now multiple people have accepted the new meeting, but we can't delete > it or cancel it > > Anyone have any thoughts on how to get rid of this meeting? Try viewing the calendar by 'category' -- that way you can find all meetings, no matter when they are. (at least, assuming this is the problem). -- dan We can see the meeting but the meeting can't be deleted.

I'd guess it's an Outlook problem, then -- in which case you could try writing code to delete it, or use something like mdbview/mfcmapi and delete it with a low-level enough interface that it shouldn't care that the date is funny. -- dan > > We can see the meeting but the meeting can't be deleted. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -- dan The problem is that the meeting was sent to over 100 people, and no one can delete or modify it, and manual detetion from 100+ peoples mail boxes is a royal pain in the ...well you get the idea. > The problem is that the meeting was sent to over 100 people, and no one > can delete or modify it, and manual detetion from 100+ peoples mail > boxes is a royal pain in the ...well you get the idea. Well, if you don't mind writing some code to find the calendar folder and delete the message in question, it's not too difficult to loop over mailboxes and do things; see http://www.danielmitchell.net/mailfaq, Q7.8 -- dan |
