Free Busy in 2006

Of our 300 or so users of Outlook Calendaring we can only see the free/busy
information for 2006 on a handful of them.  We don't have any trouble with
free/busy up to the end of 2005.  

I had read some of the other postings and MS always recommended changing the
default 2 month publishing of free/busy to something larger, so we changed it
to 6 months, but there was no change.

Any other suggestions?

Try the following for the clients that can't be seen in 2006,

Close Outlook
at the run command dialog box type "outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy"

This should clean up the users free/busy database and make them availble to
be seen in the scheduler. Not sure why this only happens for the 2006 year.

Thank you, H.  It turns out that a 2-step process did the trick.  First we
increased the publish time to 6 months, then we ran the cleanfreebusy
utility.  Neither one itself was effective, but both in this order cleared
everybody up.  

I wonder why we didn't have any trouble going into 2004 or 2005, but such
are the mysteries of software.

Perhaps because of Leap Year and everything gets catawhompied?
