Schedule+ 7.0 is Unable to Write to Schedule+ 1.0 CAL

• Microsoft Schedule+, version 7.0
• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Schedule+ on Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, with mixed Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 and Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0 users, you might have interoperability issues in which a Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0 user can only open a Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 CAL file as Read Only. In this mixed environment, you can no longer have unattended resources like conference rooms and must manually handle meeting requests for these resources.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

With the Service Pack applied, you will be able to write from Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0 into a Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 file for single-instance appointments and meetings. Writing contacts, tasks, or recurring appointments will still fail.
