When you receive a meeting request that contains an
attachment in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 environment, the following fields
are not retained:
- urn:schemas:mailheader:from
- urn:schemas:calendar:organizer
This problem occurs when either of the following conditions is
true:
- You use Exchange Server 2003 Auto Accept
Agent.
- You compile
and run a VBS script that uses the OnSave store sink
event to call the SaveToContainer method on an ICalendarMessage object.
To process meeting requests, some third-party applications rely
on the properties that are not retained. Therefore, these applications cannot
process meeting requests that contain attachments.
