Is there a reason that CRA does not run against resource mailboxes?

If a meeting notice becomes corrupted couldn't the resource mailboxes copy of same also be affected by the corruption?

The Calendar Repair Assistant is a quite helpful tool and provides good results in daily operation.

However, there can be a caveat when you are actually in an Exchange Inter-Org Migration process and using a 3rd Party tool for Migration. Under Special circumstances CRA might create meeting appointment duplicates here and you have to handle with care. I tried to explain the behavior here: migration-blog.com/.../quest-migration-manager-for-exchange-and-exchange-2010-calendar-repair-assistant-cra-there-can-be-only-one

Hi Karsten - depending on the issue and your service pack and rollup update level, we did some issues pre SP2 RU3 that are outlined here: blogs.technet.com/.../holy-cow-changes-to-recoverable-items-versioning-in-exchange-2010-sp2-ru3.aspx.

See the "What can cause excessive growth in the Recoverable Items folder?" section.

Thank you for this intersting post. But we had had some issues with growing databases and Logfiles. MS told us to disable Calendar Version Store. So we cant use this.

@Alan - Currently the Calendar Repair assistant does not run in the Office 365 service.

@Rune Blichfeldt - Yes, even if you have Office 2007 being used, we would recommend that the calendar repair assistant is run against those users. Calendar reliability issues should also be caught for these users.

I was glad to see this feature in 2010 and it is very much helpful in troubleshooting.
