Symptoms

Outlook Send Update Only To Added Attendees

Normally we create and edit meeting in the familiar Appointment page. And it is easy to add the required, optional, and resource attendees in the appointment page.

When you send a meeting request, you can put Distribution Lists (DLs) on the To line as required attendees. When the recipient accepts this meeting invitation, your original meeting item shows that recipient as an Optional attendee instead of Required.

  1. Duplicate attendees appear in Outlook meeting requests By Malaikah 13 years ago A user at a client I am working for has a strange problem with Outlook meeting requests.
  2. Let's start adding attendees and make sure they can all make it. In the To field, I'll type who I want to come to my meeting. I'll click Sharon Wu. I can just put in their names, if I want everybody to be able to make it. However, if I click the address book all the way to the right, I get some more options.

Cause

Outlook Make Meeting Optional

When Outlook receives a meeting acceptance, the sender of the acceptance is compared to the recipients in the meeting attendee list. If that recipient is not listed, it is assumed to be 'optional' and added to the list of attendees.

Status

This is by design.

To work around this issue in Outlook 2003 or later versions, expand the DL as soon as it is added to the meeting list. If the DL contains other DLs nested in it those will also have to be expanded.
