I'm receiving a New Mail notification whenever my computer receives Free/Busy data updates. If I click Yes to read the new mail Outlook tells me the custom form can't be found and displays the update as an e-mail from "Microsoft Schedule+ Free/BusyConnector (SERVERNAME)" with garbage in the message. Why did this start and how do I make it stop? And if we don't use Schedule+ then do I need to have this connector?

Schedule Plus is the forerunner of Microsoft Outlook. I suspect that someone set up either Schedule+ on a server for the outlook mail server or someone has installed Outlook and during the setup they indicated they used Schedule+ before and they created the Schedule+ connector to link the Schedule+ mail server to Outlook. The "garbage" is probably binary data describing the appointment so your Outlook can enter it.

If you believe that it is one of your coworkers that is causing this to happen, ask them to schedule an appointment with you in Outlook and if you get the notification shortly after, the Outlook they are using needs to have the options and setup changed so they no longer have this sending you these files. Have a different coworker do this each day until it appears again.

I hope this helps.

I deleted the mailbox for Schedule+ Free/Busy Connector from the Exchange Server. Nobody in our organization is using Schedule+, so I forsee no ill effects from deleting this mailbox. Before deleting it I noticed I was the NT user account assignedto it. The change I made that started the e-mails coming was changing from a personal folder to the mailbox for mail delivery in Outlook.
