Hi Nissam and Kolab,

Nissim you are receiving the extended free busy object.

I have just retested free busy generated by Kolab 2 with Outlook 2003 SP2
and Outlook 2007 and it works fine.

The Kolab server used is my old development server, next week back in the
lab I will test again against the latest version. 

kolabd-1.9.4-20050615
kolab-resource-handlers-0.3.9-20050615
kolab-webadmin-0.4.0-20050620

So now the question is, what script(freebusy.php?) provides the ifb file to
the user and how has it changed?

Best Regards
