Here is a PIA procedure to get the meeting back into the Organizers Calendar. It is not a fix.
- Find the missing meeting from someone internal. It doesn’t have to be the Organizer, but if it is, it hopefully is still in their Delete or Sent folder.
- Forward the meeting to yourself WITHOUT NOTIFICATIONS/ALERTS/UPDATES
- Tentatively accept the meeting, again WITHOUT NOTIFICATIONS/ALERTS/UPDATES
- Open Outlook and navigate to the Calendar view.
- Find the Meeting you want to export.
- Double-click the Meeting to open it.
- Go to the "File" Menu: In the meeting window, click on "File" in the top left corner.
- Save As: Choose "Save As" from the menu options.
- Select File Type: In the Save As dialog box, select "iCalendar Format (*.ics)" from the "Save as type" dropdown menu.
- Save the File: Choose the location where you want to save the ICS file, give it a name, and click "Save".
- Open the ICS file in notepad (or some Editor) so we can make a modification. Change the following text:
- Find and Replace - METHOD:REQUEST to METHOD:PUBLISH
- Save the modified ICS file.
- Copy/Transfer the file to the person missing the meeting.
- Double-click the ICS file on the user’s computer.
- Accept the Warning message if one appears.
- Close the appointment window WITHOUT Accepting or Tentative Response.
- Outlook will ask if you want to Save, say YES.
