Calendar invites not showing as tentative
Some of our users don't accept invitations. Instead a few people who invite them to meetings check their calendar for a conflict and if one doesn't exist they send an invite which remains as tentative (I'd rather them accept/decline meetings but that is a different discussion all together).
Recently invitations stopped showing as tentative, they just dont show at all on the recipients calendar. Nothing was changed on our side. Any idea why this is happening?
Seems to only be these people. This morning someone invited one of the users having hte problem and me..it showed on my calendar but not the othe user.

They are not moved or deleted. Invites are still in the inbox.

From what I have read in MS documentation, in Outlook 2007 the sniffer doesn't exist and the mechanism for handling calendar invites is very different than before.
This did remind me that a few weeks ago we swapped this uers's PC out with a new one and the old one had Outlook 2003.

nope. It definitely still exists in outlook 2007. The reason it isn't working right now is because the old pc has "rights" to the sniffer. (this prevents conflicts when using two different pcs to run outlook.)
Please run
outlook.exe /cleansniff
outlook.exe /sniff
Let me know if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
I had this problem too, and checked the OWA suggestion as above, and
Under Options… Calendar Options
I had it already ticked for these 2:
Automatically place new meeting requests on my calendar, marked Tentative
Move out-of-date meeting requests and responses to the Deleted Items folder
But I also ticked this one:
Automatically process requests and responses from external senders
And left this one unticked
Move notifications about forwarded meetings to the Deleted Items folder
... and it worked for me...

Are they being moved by a rule or deleted?
