The other thing you might try (though it’s unlikely this why everyone is having problems) is to close Outlook, wait for it to really close all the way, then run outlook /cleanreminders  That’s usually meant to fix reminders that keep coming up long after you’ve dismissed them, but it’s worth a shot and doesn’t hurt anything.

 

 

 

Here’s where it gets odd though. My director has reminders off by default. He sent me a meeting, and specifically insured  that he was not sending me a reminder; However, when I opened the meeting, it was set to remind me 15 minutes before. If I send him a meeting, he too gets a reminder, even though his default is off.

Each person can set default Calendar settings, including reminders.  That’s probably where it’s getting picked up from.  File-Options-Calendar-Default Reminders.

 

 

 

We are using exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010. We just noticed a problem that has apparently been occurring for the last few months. If someone schedules a meeting, invites attendees, and specifically turns off reminders, attendees are still getting 15 minute reminders. I’m not sure what might be causing this behavior. Is this governed by the client of the person creating the meeting, the exchange server or what?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
