Hello,

I've been migrating an Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003.
got no problems with the migration, however, once i migrated a server
that was connected to a different organization, that runs Exchange 5.5,
the meeting requests started getting there as an .ics attachment.

i understood it's common behavior, as the Ex5.5 is unable to understand
the way Ex2003 sends the meeting invitation.

So i got a question, and a problem:
Question: Is there a way to make Ex2003 send the meeting request in the
old way? (TNEF?)
Problem: the .ics files that are sent are usually not opened with the
"Cannot import vCalender file" error, i tried looking at the ics files
using notepad and they seem okey...
help?!

Ex Version information: Exchange 2003 on my site, sending to Exchange
5.5 on their site using a SMTP connector
Outlook versions: XP and 2003. (tried both, same behavior)

Thanks.

I don't think so, but you might want to ask also in an Exchange forum. If
Exchange 2003 thinks that it's sending externally, it always uses iCalendar.

An example of the ics file might be useful.
