Exchange Meeting Bug on iOS 6

[markm]

Our corporate IT department just sent out an email asking users NOT to upgrade to iOS 6 due to an apparent problem between iOS 6 and our Exchange 2010. If a user chooses to reject a meeting request on an iOS 6 device, instead of just sending the cancellation back to the meeting organizer, it seems to set the person rejecting the meeting invite as the organizer and sends out a meeting cancellation to all users.

I haven't been able to find anything here on the site or in the forums, but here's what I could find via Google. Anyone here running into this besides us?:

How funny, my company's IT department sent an email too.. basically saying the same thing. Don't upgrade to iOS 6 .. a month after it came out.

Yeah, ours wasn't any more timely, but we just hit this exact issue internally last week. (Or, at least, noticed we were hitting it.)

Nobody else?

That could be handy ... What ? Meeting at 7am ... Nah canceled lol

Same issue with our company. They sent us the email four days after approving iOS 6 for our iPhones but not our iPads. Making a mess of everything

Got it here too.

I have had nothing but problems with exchange email since IOS6. Push doesn't work, my phone sits and sits trying to connect. I finally disabled all push mail and now use a fetch schedule. It helped, but is still a crap shoot whether it will connect right away or take 5 minutes. Worked perfect under iOS 5.1 with the same mail server, same phone, etc, so definitely something wonky in 6.0.

Apparently accepting the meeting from an iOS6 device can send the cancellation tot he entire distribution list, as well. (Not just declining.)

One of the bug fixes listed in 6.0.1 is the exchange meeting bug, so hopefully that will do the trick.

I am currently testing the bug fix. So far so good.
