Some software just never seems to work right, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is one of those I'm finding is more troublesome than a bull suffering from bovine spongiform encephalopathy in a china shop. I'm fairly certain the problems I'm having are down to software configuration problems, but still it's a pain in the neck.
In this instance, Outlook users that create Calendar information on an account that is associated mailbox on the Exchange server, are not publishing their Free/Busy information. Manual attempts at getting it to publish it causes a replication problem that says either there are not enough replica's, or the user doesn't have sufficient permissions. Strangely enough even the administrator account doesn't have permissions to do this - so it's just utter crazyness in my mind.
I've tried using GUIDgen to generate a new GUID, tried changing permissions via PFDAVAdmin, removing all adminstrative restrictions so that any user can do anything, none of the mailboxes are in the Domain Administrators group - so there's no blocking going on there.
Anybody have any suggestions what the problem / fix might be?
