I am new to Exchange 2003 and this may be a relatively simple issue for you.
We currently have a small set up with an Exchange 2003 and 10 clients using Outlook 2010. One of those clients is a director (User 1). 2 other clients are his secretarys (User 2 and User 3).
User 2 and 3 have been granted the same exact mailbox rights to User 1's calendar/mailbox.
The problem:
User 2 created a calendar entry for/in User 1's calendar, thus making her the organiser of this entry. User 1 and 3 can see this entry in their calendars fine.
User 3 decides to change the entry made by User 2. Now, User 3 can see the change however, User 1 and 2 cannot........
Any ideas what is going on please?
Thank you kindly.

You know the sync problem seems to arise when either secretary makes an appointment for the dirctor in their OWN calendar (making them the organiser) and invites all other parties including the other secretary as an attendee.
What seems to work is if the secretary's make the appoinments directly in the directors calendar (makung him the organiser) and adding all other attendees (including themselves). All sync issues become sweet as a peach then.
Im guessing it is best to keep the director the organiser at all times as opposed to bringing him in as an attendee.
What do you think?

It's his appointments, so I'd personally always be looking from his calender, and not from the secretary ones.
The reason it might not work 100% when the appointment is made locally at a secretary, might be because the other two users might not have read-rights to the calender of the secretary, and thus can't retrieve updates.
Then again, I don't have a direct cause for this handy, so I'm guessing here.
