Accept & Do Not Send a Response

Julia Foran 

1.  Undoubtedly Yes.  I have come across several upper-level Executive Assistants and Admins that don't understand why this option doesn't tally in their tracking results and what I'm going to do to fix the issue.  Since I can't rewrite Microsoft code, my only response to date has been that the end-user will need to re-accept the meeting invitation and choose to send some kind of a response.

2.  Yes and Yes.  If the organizer is simply organizing a meeting with no options to change the time and doesn't require a response from the invitee, I think they are still going to want to know who is attending and who isn't.  Primarily in larger organizations, this is a great way to cut down on the amount of e-mail received and that the organizer has to deal with.
