OL: Outlook Does Not Prompt to Send Update When You Select or Clear "Allow External Attendees" Check Box

Microsoft Outlook does not prompt you to send updates when you change the Allow external attendees check box for an online meeting by using Microsoft Exchange Conferencing Server.

Because you are not prompted to send an update, the meeting item is listed as public or private, depending on whether you initially selected the Allow external attendees check box. This behavior occurs regardless of the changes you make to the Allow external attendees check box; that is, you are not prompted to send updates if you later select or clear the Allow external attendees check box.
