Our company has Outlook 2000 on an exchange server with Windows 2000 Professional. Some of our groups can assign tasks to each other and others can’t. This message occurs “You do not have the permission to send the message on behalf of the specified user.” You click OK and it adds the task to your task list as an assigned task. When you open the task it says “Waiting for a response from recipient.” Is this an administrator problem or is this something in Outlook? And how do you fix it?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
