Exchange 2003 calendar delegates

September 5, 2008 9:15 AM

How do I give my CEO's exchange calendar a new assistant?

CEO had assistant 1. former IT people set it up that any calendar invite sent via exchange (2003) was copied to the assistant, who could then answer on the CEO's behalf.

assistant 1 became assistant 2. deleted a1 from exchange, added a2, and assigned delegate rights for CEO to a2.

the problem: i cannot find the mechanism that copies a1 on invites to the CEO. it is not rules on the CEO's profile. i see nothing referencing a1 in the CEO's exchange properties. meeting requesters get the following bounceback referencing a1 when they send request to CEO.

Did you look in Active Directory on the server? There's a setting in AD profiles where you can set forwarding addresses after clicking the the Exchange General tab > Delivery Options button.

You cannot do this from exchange. You need to get into your boss's outlook.

Most likely she was deleted, but not removed from the delegates list.
