OWA Public Folder Shared calendar synchronization problem

[BlueManOp]

Anyone ever have a problem with OWA users and synchronization issues with a Outlook Clients?

Example:
1 user running OWA opens a public folder and alters a date on a calendar.

user 2 opens the same calendar but does not see the recent update from user 1

Anyone have any clues?

Have a check the Outlook permissions to the public folder!

Yep. I can even use my own Outlook account to try to alter the calendar in the Public Folder and the same results appear.

I add a date within the Outlook 2003 client and let say it is for the 20th from 8am to 9am. This will appear within outlook just fine within Outlook 2003.

I log into OWA with the same account and browse to the public folders and that same calendar and see nothing. I decide that I want to place an appointment on the 20th from 8am to 10am (just to distinguish between the two) and save it. This also appears just fine from within OWA.

I can close up both OWA and Outlook 2003, leave it for a day, come back the next morning and open both clients and still see that the Outlook 2003 client did not see the OWA scheduled appointment and the OWA still can not see the entry from the Outlook2003 but they still list their own.

Also I can alter my personal calendar from my mailbox from an Outlook 2003 and OWA will see the changes just fine. This goes the same with scheduling things from OWA to my personal mailbox.

** I’m adding more information about my setup to this thread; **

Server1 - Dedicated public folders & recipient container. Win2k, w/Exchange 5.5 sp4
Server2 - Dedicated SMTP mail server. Win2k w/Exchange 5.5 sp4
Server3 - Dedicated OWA server NT 4.0 IIS4 with Exchange 5.5 sp4
Server4,5,6 – Dedicated for mailboxes/user accounts.

I suspect there might be something to do with replication or corruption with the public folders but I’m not sure. Anyone have any ideas with replication between servers?

As always, any information would be appreciated!
