Outllok: Calender appointments don't update after importet from PST

Hi.
Moved 50 users from on-premis exchange to Office365.
Used "export to PST, set up new profile, import from PST" solution on individual pc's to achive best import-to-office365 speed.
Se that all calender appointments that have been created through Invite function now have the added Copy: in front,
And don't recive updates made to the meeting.
Have found a VBA script that should be able to remove the word copy: in front, but no help if they are still not reciving updates.

Any one that have a solution to this problem. How to make the appointments "updateable"

Outlook 2010SP2

Thanx

Update: Only way I have found to fix this is to:
1 start up old outlook profile,
2 Connect an ampty PST file, and create a calender folder.
3 MOVE all calender apointments to new PST file.
When opening this PST file the apontments don't have Copy: in front.

Now I could try to import to new profile, choose not to import duplicates.
Now I would have only duplicates of invited meetings. ! with Copy: and without.
Could then listed calender appointments and deleted all with names started with Copy:.

Long but pisible road.
Only fear is doing this would result in 100's of invites on old and new apointments were sent again.

The "copy" would lead me to the fact, that you havn't moved the original items but have created a copy of the item. The copy may not be connected to the original appointment anymore (as it gets a new identifier), therefore you do not get updates anymore.
If you get an update for an appointment, Outlook needs the identifier to recognize, to which items it belongs to. A copy is a new item with a new identifier.
Yes, we used export to PST, set up new profile and import from PST.
