Some (not all) apparently well posted Appointments have started disappearing from a calendar in the Public Folders. Thru some mysterious process, the appt's start date seems to get destroyed and Exchange/Outlook vanishes the entire appointment from the calendar. If the invited persons have 'accepted' the invitation quickly enough, the appt is indeed posted to their private calendar, even if the appt vanishes from the Public calendar.
Strangely enough, the vanished appointments live on -- enough so that they can be located with a view which selects appts that have no 'Start'. But by then, the apparent date of the appt has been changed to equal the date when the damage occurred -- only the original 'create-date' is preserved, but that's of little help in reconstructing the appt.
We're using Exchange 2000 Standard (not Enterprise) and Outlook 2000 or 2002 desktop clients. Damage seems to come in the off-hours -- appts I create today, may be gone by tomorrow morning (not a comfortable thought).
Any ideas on what's causing the damage to the 'Start' of these appointments?
