I have an odd issue. I have had a number of people report that
Outlook will send updates for meetings by itself. We are using
Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2003, and these people set up a meeting and
invite multiple people and everything works as normal. Then, sometime
in the future, Outlook automatically sends out an update to the
meeting (nothing has actually changed about the meeting, but it sends
an update none the less) to everyone invited to the meeting. The
meeting organizer is always logged into Outlook at the time, but
sometimes isn't even at their desk when the update is sent. They only
find out later when they start receiving acceptance emails about the
update. When you look in sent items, there is an email that was sent
from outlook for the update, but the person didn't send it. This has
happened to multiple people, multiple times, with multiple meetings,
so I know it isn't just a single person doing something weird.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks.

Nope, no smart phones or PDAs. To the best of my knowledge, they
aren't even connecting via OWA (definitely not during the time the
updates are sent). They are just plain vanilla users.
