Free/Busy Replication - Going one way ??

albanga

Hi everyone,

I have a weird issue going on at the moment.

Basically got a new Exchange 2003 server up and running so that makes two. Intending to migrate all the mailboxes over and remove the old server as its just has old hardware and all that.

So everything seems to be going well BUT ... the Free/Busy data seems to be only replicating one-way.

The test user on the new mail server CAN see all other staff members free/busy data when booking them for a meeting or whatever but other staff CANNOT see the test users free busy. The Test users Freebusy data isn't hashed out though (as in cannot access free/busy etc etc) it is just clear... showing no meeting when there are in fact meetings there.

So I'm a bit stumped on this one..

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Free/Busy data is stored in the system folders in a public folder database in Exchange 2003. Outlook is configured to send free/busy data to the public folder database every 15 minutes. Sounds like you need to give it a bit of time and check in a bit.

Hey Royal,

Thats not the problem as it has been there for 2 days and still nothing.

As Royal was saying Free/Busy is a public folder so you want to make sure public folder replication is set up between both servers.

Just go to the Free/Busy folder on the new Exchange server and set it to replicate to the old server.
