I have installed Exchange 2007 and after doing so, I lose my categories I had
assigned to a task in outlook when someone accepts the task I assigned. This
is the same process I have used for years, but now it seems to be broken.

I can reassign the task to the category, but why would it remove the
category. The category stays as long as the acceptance is not emailed back to
me. As soon as the acceptance is sent, my category disappears and it goes
back into the main task list without a category.

This happens on both outlook 2003 and 2007

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Outlook 2007 deletes categories on incoming e-mails by default. You can
disable or remove the rule that does that via Tools/Rules.

Also, it doesn't send any categories. To fix that, add this to the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Preferences]
"SendPersonalCategories"=dword:00000001
