Accessing Conf Rm Calendar Hangs Outlook

by m'dero . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

We have mailboxes configured for Automatic Reservation of conference rooms (CR). When anyone accesses the Calendar of one particular CR, Outlook locks up. As an administrator, I can launch Outlook with that CR’s mailbox profile and browser the following with no problem: Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc. But, when the Calendar folder is accessed…instant freeze.

I’ve tried launching Outlook with the /CleanFreeBusy and /CleanReminders switches with no success. In fact, when I use the /CleanFreeBusy switch, Outlook hangs immediately — w/o having to browser the Calendar folder. I’ve tried exporting the Calendar folder to a .PST so that I can delete the Calendar Folder from the mailbox and let Exchange create a new Calendar folder. However, my .PST is inaccessible as well, and SCANPST.EXE doesn’t help. So, I’m hesitate to delete the folder w/o a copy I can read.

Do these symptoms sound familiar? Any input? TechNet has none!
