RESOLUTION

In the Exchange Administrator program, follow these steps to configure free and busy replication:

Locate the Schedule+ Free Busy folder. To do this, click the Organization Level, click Folders, click System Folders, and then click Schedule+ Free Busy folder. This displays all free and busy folders for each site within the organization.
Open the properties for the local site.
On the Replicas tab, include the other sites in the Replicate Folders To pane.

After the replication procedure is finished, all users can view free and busy information across all sites.
