latency. Instead we will access the target mailbox’s free/busy data directly from the calendar (via the Availability service).

meeting requests when certain information changes (location, attendees, meeting notes)), the Availability service provides a methodology by which end users will be able to see free/busy data in real-time that is always up to date. The Availability Service is a web service that is deployed on the Client Access Server role. Outlook 2007 clients discover the Availability service via Autodiscover.

Few administrators understand how clients publish free/busy data as users update their calendars, where Exchange stores the data, and what the data actually represents. Although TechNet and the Exchange development team blog (at http://msexchangeteam.com/default.aspx) provide good information about free/busy data, this article aims to give you comprehensive coverage of the topic, bringing different sources of information together to illuminate one of the more esoteric parts of Exchange. Let’s start demystifying free/busy data by looking at where Exchange stores it and how clients publish it. With that foundation, you can explore what the free/busy data represents, how Exchange and Outlook use it, and how you can use the Exchange Information Store Viewer to gain additional insight into the data. We’ll finish up with a look at some changes coming in Exchange Server 2007 that promise to give users the most current free/busy data available as th

All users can see free/busy information for everyone.In Outlook 2003, users can see free/busy information for users created after migration, but can't see free/busy information for users that were migrated.In Outlook 2007, free/busy doesn't work at all.Running outlook /cleanfreebusy produces an error message "Unable to clean your free/busy information on the server" for migrated users, but succeeds for new users.My Google-fu has failed me. finni Ars Praefectus Tribus: Boston, MA Registered: Dec 22, 1999Posts: 4127 Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:43 am For Outlook 2007, check to see if you've configured Autodiscover correctly.http://technet.microsoft.com/e...ibrary/bb124251.aspx Barmaglot Ars Tribunus Angusticlavius et Subscriptor Tribus: Israel Registere
