SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. Two Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 mailboxes are located in separate domains. User A creates a recurring meeting by using the iCalendar (iCal) form code instead of the standard invitation form. Additionally, User A invites User B to the recurring meeting. User B accepts the invitation in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Then, User A opens an instance of the meeting, changes the meeting location, saves the meeting location, and then sends the update to User B. In this scenario, you expect the single instance of the meeting to be updated and all other instances of the meeting not to be changed. However, the single instance of the meeting is updated. Additionally, all other instances of the recurring meeting are removed.
