I'm running Entourage 11.2.4 on OSX 10.4.7. Other Mac users, running
various versions of Entourage (11.x), are experiencing the same issue.
Send/Receive mail is fine.
Something interesting... I can delete meeting requests from Entourage
and that change will synch to Exchange just fine. It seems to be just
new calendar items. Although, I accepted a meeting request this
morning, coming from a PC user, and that synched fine, but other
invitations from other PC users do not synch. It seems to be
inexplicably intermittent. Also, I can accept meeting requests on my
PC and that will synch down to Entourage but nothing will synch up
(other than the previously mentioned invitation I accepted this
morning).
Very strange. Any suggestions?!?
Thanks,

Anyone know how to contact the MacBU?

I think I'm missing something (or maybe I'm just tired) but these are
calendar items that I added to my calendar. I don't see how adding a
delegate has anything to do with that.
Could you explain further, Jackie?
Thanks,

Update, in case anybody is still reading this thread:
Our Exchange admin learned that the previous configuration of Exchange
(before the rebuild) contained a combination of Exchange 5.5, Exchange
2000, and Exchange 2003 settings. It was actually upgraded from
Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 and then finally to Exchange 2003; in
other words, never wiped and then clean install.
Well, when he did the clean build last weekend, that wiped out all of
those settings that carried over from upgrade to upgrade.
Unfortunately, our Entourage clients were dependant upon some of those
settings for calendar and Public Folder synchronization. So, now we're
in the process of learning how to configure a brand new install of
Exchange 2003.
Thanks anyway,
nate
We had this problem adding events to a calendar by a delegate, and after a
lot of work discovered a couple of things.
One is that we could synchronize a calendar item if it was at least 2 months
in the future. This suggested that there was something about the Free/Busy
status involved, since the default value for publishing Free/Busy status is
two months. Resetting this value had no effect on the problem however.
Finally, we found that you can add an appt to a calendar if you set the
Free/Busy status of the event to Free using the Options menu in the new appt
window. The default is Busy.
MS finally said it had something to do with a security patch we'd applied
earlier in the Summer. I don't recall if it was a server or Exchange patch.
