Received a suspicious phone message on our answering machine claiming to be from Kaiser Permanente and asking us to call 866-484-9744. I ignored it and deleted the message after doing a Google search on the number. Troubleshot problems with Exchange not displaying some calendar items correctly. Here's the problem report I submitted to OAAIS: "Hi, Exchange is not displaying some calendar items correctly. On Wed Aug 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM I created 2 calendar items: (1) SL-FF: Every 4 weeks starting Mon Sep 8 from 3 to 4 PM, and (2) SL-FF-ED: Every 2 weeks starting Mon Sep 8 from 4 to 5 PM. Item 1 is me and Susie Levings. Item 2 is me, Susie Levings, and Eric Davila. The Mon Nov 3 meetings are the only ones that got manually bumped (to Tue Nov 4). These items appear correctly on my calendar. However, on their calendars they see these meetings on Thu Sep 18—why? The meetings recur only on Mondays—why is this showing up for them on a Thursday? Also, item 1 failed to appear for both me and Susie and neither of us remember deleting that meeting. I would only have deleted a meeting if I had to attend another event, but there is no other event in that 3 to 4 time slot. Neither item 1 nor item 2 appear on Susie's calendar for Mon Oct 6. To work around the problem of the missing meeting for Mon Sep 22 for SL-FF (item 1), she and I manually created new appointments with no invitations. Could you please investigate these anomalies and, if possible, resolve them on your end? Or, please let me know what I, Susie, or Eric might have done wrong to create this situation. Thanks!"
