Calendaring limited to 30 days
Since last Friday it appears that the Schedule+ Free Busy connector is now limited to 30 days regardless of the mailbox settings. Most of the calendars (except my own) in the scheduling utility beyond 30 days displays the no information slashes \\\\\.Even thoughone personis set to publish 6 months, and Im set to publish 12 months;it occurs in both 2003 and 2007 versions of outlook, and also in Webmail however Reoccurring Meetings do appear. Yet I can seemy bossesappointment, free and busy pass July. My only guess is either a system account was modified, or some service has stopped; although I see nothing in either the event viewer or in services waving a red flag. My netwrok admin implemented ISA on Friday and redirected all to pass through it, but I can't figure out how that would effect free/busy. Theres a utility available to refresh free and busy but it is not support by Microsoft. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294282/ Anyone else have any thoughts?

There is limiting set by the actual schedule+ free busy folder. You can access the properties of the free busy folder through exchange system manager > site that host's the folder hieacrchy > folders Right click on public folders and select view system folders Expand the schedule + free/busy section then select your site's free busy and go to properties. Then click the limits tab to make your necessary changes. let me know if this helps Zack

Thanks for the reply, Zack I did not see anything on limits tab to set the duration to publish free and busy. I think we may have an answer though.... after changing the duration of publishing from 2 months - 6 months, we type at a cmd prompt outlook.exe/cleanfreebusy. Thenset agroup policy to set the every one to 6 months months and simply added the outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy to our login batch. I'll let you know tomorrow morning if it works.

I must have misunderstood the primary goal, sorry about that. But if you are concerned about being able to see appointments that have already passed, that would be the area. By default the microsoft outlook client publishes every 15 mins and for a 3 month period. If there is a resource calendar being used we typically publish it for 6 months. I believe the calendar will publish data further if there are appointments set for dates further than the publish period. Hope this helps...
