Hi,
Some of the users in the company I work for have reported that when they schedule a meeting using the calendar in outlook 2003, that the reminders for that meeting can appear 30 minutes / 2 hours / 2 weeks after the meeting has taken place.
Normally when you schedule a meeting the reminder will appear e.g. 10 minutes before the start of the meeting, but that is not happening all the time.
It seems that for random meetings for different users, they will not get the reminder until after the meeting is over and it is at different times the reminder appears. (So far users have reported that the reminder has appeared 30 minutes after the meeting, others have reported it can be as much as 2 weeks after the meeting).
The users are connected to Outlook all the time so it is not as if they are connecting and disconnecting every so often.
We have checked the time on our exchange server and that is correct, as is the time on the user’s computers (all users are connected to the domain and are using Windows XP).
Has anyone experienced this before and have a reason/solution why this is happening?
If you need any further detail let me know.
Maybe you have entered the reminder time in the incorrect field. Or you have set that meeting as a low priority meaning it was over ruled by something more important in your diary.
Redo it very slowly and you will find there will be an error in the times, unless your computer clock is 30 minutes slow or something??
