Meeting Request disconnect

Newly sent meeting requests appear as out-of-date

Few employees have reported that the meeting request they receive says “Meeting is out-of-date” whereas no recent update is available. It does not happen with all the invites, but a few of them. Sometimes even the cancellation message says “out-of-date”.

Try this:
Close Outlook,
click Start- ] Run,
type Outlook /cleanprofile

If that doesn’t do the trick then recreate the Outlook profile.
Profile corruption is the source of many strange behaviors in Outlook.

NOTE:: You may first want to save away the address cache (the .nk2 file) which contains the addresses the user has previously sent successfully. You find the .nk2 file here:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

After recreating the profile you can restore the .nk2 file to the same location assuming you used the same name for the new Outlook profile.
