SUMMARY
=======
In a pure MS Mail Postoffice environment, Schedule+ 1.0 and Schedule+ 7.0 have
several interoperability issues. The information provided here assumes that you
have brand new Schedule+ 7.0 users, or that you migrated from Schedule+ 1.0 and
cleaned up the original Schedule+ 1.0 calendar files. If you are not sure that
the original files were cleaned up, run the Adminsch program and choose
Administration-Clean Up Schedule Files after the migration.
MORE INFORMATION
================
On a Single PO:
- Free/Busy Information:
From a Schedule+ 1.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 7.0 user:
CAN:
- You can see free/busy information for a Schedule+ 7.0 user, but that is
all.
CANNOT:
- You can not see planner details.
- You can not open a Schedule+ 7.0 appointment book.
From a Schedule+ 7.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 1.0 user:
CAN:
- You can see free/busy information for a Schedule+ 1.0 user.
- You can do all messaging. But Schedule+ 1.0 does not accept recurring
meeting requests. Meeting Cancellations from Schedule+ 7.0 to Schedule+
1.0 will not provide the Remove from Schedule option. You will need to
manually delete the appointment. Also, if the Schedule+ 7.0 sender moves
the meeting, the Schedule+ 1.0 user will need to manually delete the old
meeting.
- You can open a Schedule+ 1.0 appointment book, depending on the
permissions given by the Schedule+ 1.0 user, but you can only create
appointments and meetings on the other person's appointment book. You
cannot create tasks, events, contacts or any recurring items (including
recurring appointments and meetings). You can modify recurring
appointments that the Schedule+ 1.0 user created on their appointment
book, but you can not create them for them.
- Delegate/Manager:
Both the manager and the delegate need to be running the same version of
Schedule+.
- Resource: From a Schedule+ 1.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 7.0 resource:
CANNOT:
- Resources cannot autobook, but here is a workaround:
1. Resource is currently logged into Schedule+ 7.0.
2. The This Account is for a Resource option is checked.
3. The Auto Accept and Auto Decline options are checked.
4. Unless there is a conflicting meeting, in which case the mail will
just sit in the inbox until someone deals with it. Because of this
situation, we recommend that you assign a delegate to the resource,
so they can watch for conflicting appointments.
From a Schedule+ 7.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 1.0 resource:
CANNOT:
- Resources cannot autobook. For additional information, please see the

For Multiple POs:
- Free/Busy Information:
For free/busy information to be seen, you must either have dynamic connections
setup or run Schdist.exe. You can run dynamic connections and Schdist.exe at
the same time.
From a Schedule+ 1.0 user on one PO, to a Schedule+ 7.0 user on a second PO:
CAN:
- Send meeting requests
- View free/busy time if using Schdist. Dynamic Connections might not work
consistently and therefore, are not recommended.
CANNOT:
- View details of the Schedule+ 7.0 users' appointments from the Open
Other's Appointments command on the File menu or Planner.
From a Schedule+ 7.0 user on one PO, to a Schedule+ 1.0 user on a second PO:
CAN:
- Send meeting requests.
- View free/busy times.
- View details of the Schedule+ 1.0 user's calendar if dynamic connections
are used.
- Delegate/Manager:
Both the manager and the delegate need to be running the same version of
Schedule+.
- Resource:
From a Schedule+ 1.0 user looking at a Schedule+ 7.0 resource:
CANNOT:
- Resources can not autobook, but here is a workaround:
1. Resource is currently logged into Schedule+ 7.0.
2. The This Account is for a Resource option is checked.
3. The Auto Accept and Auto Decline options are checked.
4. Unless there is a conflicting meeting, in which case the mail will
just sit in the inbox until someone deals with it. Because of this
situation, we recommend that you assign a delegate to the resource,
so they can watch for conflicting appointments.
