iOS 6 and Microsoft Exchange: Meeting events unexpectedly canceled

We had a meeting cancelled by an invited member and not the meeting organiser. It was a recurring meeting and the entire series was cancelled and a notification sent to all invited members. The user who 'cancelled' the meeting and the meeting organiser do not have any share permissions to each others calendar.

We are also having recurring meetings disappear from our iPhones/iPads, but can be viewed on Outlook.

Is there a workaround for this issue, especially for the users who travel most of the time and do not have access to Outlook at all times?

We are using Microsoft Exchange 2003, all services packs and patches have been installed, and IOS 6.1.4.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

I believe that's the root of your problem right there...

You need to update.

We also just saw this today, and we are running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU6 And Outlook 2010 (64bit) and it happened on an iPhone running iOS 6.0.1. We've had a number of issues with iOS devices corrupting the MAPI info for the organizer and corrupting our meetings, initially it was though that was fixed with iOS 6.1.3 but no go, it's still an issue (that started with iOS 6.0.1.)

However this behavior with the invited member (who declined from his iPhone) being able to blow the whole meeting for all invited members is a new one... We're working on a plan to update to Exchange 2010 SP3 to address the issue linked above, will re-post back here if that also resolves this new issue.
