SYMPTOMS

When you compose a meeting request to send to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 user, you configure Microsoft Outlook to send no meeting reminders to the attendees. To do this, you click to clear the Reminder check box in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, or you set the reminder status to None in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

However, when an Exchange Server 2007 user receives the meeting request, the meeting reminder is still active. Additionally, the reminder time is set to the default value of 15 minutes.
