Our Exchange 5.5 (SP4) server has what appears to be a corrupt calendar item
for January 20, 2004.  Those people who have this recurring(?) calendar item
experience an Outlook lock up (CPU 100% running process outlook.exe) when
accessing their calendar for that date and when syncing for offline Outlook
use.  This effects Outlook versions 2000 and 2002.  Because the item can not
be accessed from an Outlook client it can not be deleted.  Is there a way to
delete recurring calendar items from a specific date in the private data
store?  Is there an Outlook patch that prevents the CPU utilization problem
so the item can be accessed and deleted?  Thanks.
  Don Williams

Have you tried connecting with OWA?

Yes.  Pegs the OWA server at 100% utilization and no updates are sent to the
OWA client.

have you tried running Outlook with the /cleanreminders  or /cleanfreebusy
switches?

Thanks.  Tried but it did not work.  Outlook client hits 100% CPU util and
dies.

have you tried exporting the entire calendar to a pst file?  or using
exmerge to archive the entire mailbox contents to a pst file?

There's also a utility called MDBVU32.exe to view & modify 
a mailbox w/o Outlook, but avoid it because there's not 
good (IMHO) documentation and it's kinda confusing, but it 
may be what you need.

Calling PSS might not be a bad idea either.

Have you tried exporting one of the mailboxes to PST, 
delete the calendar item, then import back to IS?  Not a 
pleasant thing to do but worth a try.

Any access of the calendar data appears to cause outlook to stop responding.
I have not tried exmerge.  Assuming it is possible, what is the downside
(other than loosing calendar data) of attempting to delete the entire
calendar folder?  From one of the Q articles they made a reference to
Outlook creating a new, empty calendar folder if one did not exist.

what version of Outlook are you using?  do you possibly have a pc somewhere
you could intall the old Exchange client on, and try to delete the item that
you suspect is corrupt there?  it might be worth a shot...otherwise, I would
use exmerge to completely archive the entire mailbox, at which point,
nothing should be left in it...then you can selectively import the data from
the pst file...you might need to do it one sub-folder at a time, omitting
the calendar...

Hi Don,

we had this happening to us last week. Below is the advice I recieved in
another N.G., ms public.outlook.calendaring.
It worked perfectly for us, took me half an hour to find and remove the
corrupted item, without having to worry about losing data.
Maybe this will work for you as well?

----------
Probably a corrupt meeting in the calendar. I have found that
it is usually in a recurring appointment that has gone bad during
the week of the freeze (when did the freeze start?)

1) Open the Outlook but do not try to open the calendar.

2) Create a New folder (Calendar Test)

3) Do an advanced find on the old calendar and sort events
    by recurrence.

    - Press F3
    - Change the Look For: text box to Appointments and Meetings
    - Click on the Advanced tab
    - Click Field
    - Select All Appointment fields
    - Select Recurring
    - Condition: equals
    - Value: Yes
    - Click the Add to List button
    - Click Find Now

Drop and drag from advanced find listed events one at a time to
the new calendar, when you get to the corrupt item it will give
you an error message or it will hang. (delete this item)

Or if it is not a recurring (which our's always are) you could
perform the find for all and do the same as above...

Move all your calendar items from Calendar Test folder back to
original calendar (these are previously dragged over items).
