We're using Office 2003 SP2, Windows XP, Exchange Server 2003. When creating
a meeting request and I'm on the Scheduling tab, a large block of time is
shown as "free" for one of the attendees. I was suspicious of the
availability for this attendee, so I looked at his shared calendar and found
that he was not free at all. In fact, he has an "out of office" meeting
scheduled during the time that was indicated as "free". Further
investigation shows that this "out of office" meeting was scheduled days ago
and the free/busy info in Outlook on his PC is set to publish for 12 months
and update on the server every 15 minutes. Is this a bug? What am I missing
here? Thank you!

Try starting this user's Outlook one time with the /cleanfreebusy switch.

start->run->outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy (note the space before the /)

Thank you. I'll try this, but do you mean the user who was creating the
meeting req or the attendee?
