Hi All, I need your help. We have a mixed network of PC (XPP) and 30 newly deployed Mac's (OSX10.5). ICal to iCal meeting requests are fine. ICal to Entourage meeting requests are fine iCal to Outlook meeting requests don't work. ![]() As we are wanting to move Mac users away fro Entourage we are motivated to resolve this issue. When an iCal meeting request is sent to an Outlook recipient, they receieve an email with 2 empty attachments, and a note that states that to accept this meeting, they must click on the link below; although, there is NO link for the user to click on. Outlook and Entourage are working thru Exchange Server 2003. ICal is (presently) working off local installs. ICal Server is due for operation in a few weeks. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Sean [email protected]. Hi Sean, I have the same problem. It doesn't seem that anyone at Mac cares about this issue. I believe it is an important issue since there must be iCal users that are sending invitations to Outlook users in an Exchange environment. I saw this thread, but couldn't get it to work: I have also called the support line at Mac about this and they seemed to believe it was a 'licensing' issue -- I can't believe this. Because Microsoft Outlook integrates your email, calendar and contacts, sending a meeting request can be a pretty straightforward task. Simply entering the names of the people you're inviting, the time and the location, and pressing the Send button will get the job done. Turn off meeting forward notifications in Outlook Automatically forward every email to the specified recipient in Outlook Generally speaking, we can set a rule to automatically forward emails to the specified recipients, such as your another email account, your Gmail, or your colleagues, etc. It should be an easy fix for Mac -- but one they don't care about. Considering they are trying to attract PC users, this is not a good. ![]() Have you had any luck? I'd be interested in hearing. Regards, Alec. I have the same problem. Sent a meeting invite to a group, many of them Outlook users and they don't get the link to accept the invite. This is ridiculous. I have a brand spanking new MacBook Pro running Leopard and the latest version of Mail and I can't send meeting invites that work!!?? If anyone has an answer to this problem, I'm all ears. Also, what's with this nonsense of not being able to select the sending e-mail reply address for a meeting invite. We can do this in e-mail, but not in iCal. These features have been available in Entourage and a zillion other e-mail and calendaring software packages FOREVER. Who would even think you'd need to look for them ahead of a buying decision. There are several discussions regarding this same topic on the Apple forums and elsewhere. None of them have solved the problem. This seems to be an issue that has been around for a long time but never addressed by Apple or Microsoft. From some simple tests that I have done, it appears the the Microsoft Exchange Server is not interpreting the iCal event (.ics extension) properly. I have seen discussions saying that Apple is not formatting the event properly or is using a newer standard that MS Exchange does not support. I believe it is the later as I can make the event work properly without any software changes but I have to do some steps manually.
