An error occurs in Outlook versions older than 2003 SP1 when you add recipients to an appointment, then click or , then select to send the appointment to new recipients. The error states that a resource is busy or that you lack sufficient permissions.

If you try to Autopick free time on a meeting request that includes a resource among the recipients, an error message displays reading “Outlook is not able to find any free time.” To correct the problem, add the resource as a Required or Optional attendee instead of a Resource.
