Can anyone shed some light on this issue ("bug")?
SCENARIO - User sends out a meeting invitation with a 1 week reminder. She has set 1 week as her default reminder in Outlook so she doesn't have to remember to change the reminder setting each time. But when the participants accept the meeting and look at it on their calendar, the reminder time is not set at 1 week, and is instead set to whatever their default reminder is set to (in most cases, 15 minutes if they've never changed that setting).
After doing some testing, I found the following:
If you send out a meeting invite with the reminder set to whatever you have as your default setting, then the participants will get the meeting with a reminder set to whatever their default setting is.
But, if you send out a meeting invite and change the reminder to anything other than what you have as your default setting, then the participants will receive the meeting with the reminder that you set.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Is this a known "issue" or is it set this way on purpose, and if so, then why? Is there any way to change this behavior?
