SUMMARY
When a meeting invitation is sent from a user on one Exchange server to a user on another server, the message ID may be mismatched from the original invitation message ID. Consequently, the Accept/Decline message received from the invitee does not update the invitee response list.
MORE INFORMATION
If the times of the two Exchange Servers are not synchronized, then the message ID of the Accept/Decline message (produced by the invitee when accepting or declining the meeting invitation) is mismatched from the original invitation message ID.
This problem occurs if the Accept/Decline message is sent within the time difference between the two servers. That is, if the time difference between the two Exchange servers is five minutes, an Accept/Decline message sent within five minutes of receiving the invitation message can result in the behavior reported above. In conclusion, the server times need to be synchronized as close as possible.
